[Python-Dev] FW: [Python-Help] indentation

While we're talking about pluggable CLIs, I share this fellow's confusion
over IDLE's CLI variant:  block code doesn't "look right" under IDLE because
sys.ps2 doesn't exist under IDLE.  Some days you can't make *anybody* happy
<wink>.

My Problem has to do with identation:

I put the following to idle:

>>> if not 1:
	print 'Hallo'
	else:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I get the Message above.

I know that else must be 4 spaces to the left, but idle doesn't let me do
this.

I have only the alternative to put to most left point. But than I
disturb the block structure and I get again the error message.

I want to have it like this:

>>> if not 1:
	print 'Hallo'
    else:

Can you help me?
