Then get to *REALLY* love Python and the problem is gone for you (and
for honorable Bruce Eckel too).
Otherwise it looks like an inviation to a flame.

Is this a "solution"? Are your "solutions" always like this?

"Love or get away".

Hmm... Quite impressive. You can solve every problem with this
approach. I will try it in a spare time.

Do you dislike writing or reading the 'end's? If the latter, set your
editor's syntax highlighting to grey them to near-invisibility - that
way it'll indent everything properly, and you won't see the actual 'end'
in your code.
