You know what? You are right. That example was just too
well-structured.

Here’s a more dangerous one:

    def register_additional_standard(self, **kwargs) :
        "registers additional standard interfaces that are not automatically" \
        " installed at Connection creation time. Currently the only one is" \
        " the object-manager interface, registered with\n" \
        "\n" \
        "    «conn».register_additional_standard(managed_objects = True)\n"
        for key in kwargs :
            if kwargs[key] :
                if key == "managed_objects" :
                    if self._managed_objects != None :
                        raise asyncio.InvalidStateError \
                          (
                            "object manager interface already registered"
                          )
                    #end if
                    self.register \
                      (
                        path = "/",
                        interface = ManagedObjectsHandler(),
                        fallback = True
                      )
                    self._managed_objects = {}
                else :
                    raise TypeError("unrecognized argument keyword “%s”" % key)
                #end if
            #end if
        #end for
        return \
            self
    #end register_additional_standard

versus

    def register_additional_standard(self, **kwargs) :
        "registers additional standard interfaces that are not automatically" \
        " installed at Connection creation time. Currently the only one is" \
        " the object-manager interface, registered with\n" \
        "\n" \
        "    «conn».register_additional_standard(managed_objects = True)\n"
        for key in kwargs :
            if kwargs[key] :
                if key == "managed_objects" :
                    if self._managed_objects != None :
                        raise asyncio.InvalidStateError \
                          (
                            "object manager interface already registered"
                          )
                    self.register \
                      (
                        path = "/",
                        interface = ManagedObjectsHandler(),
                        fallback = True
                      )
                    self._managed_objects = {}
                else :
                    raise TypeError("unrecognized argument keyword “%s”" % key)
        return self

I was looking for quite a tricky example I remember seeing on the
ArjanCodes channel on YouTube, but I can’t find it.
