Python scoping

[vinej]

I'm using python for a while now, and I'm always using a
remark like that.

if a == 1 :
    print "ok"
#if

for s in stocks :
    if s == 'end' :
        print "ok"
    #if
    print "something else"
#for

etc..

This is very simple and I'm sure that if something happening to my
code (erasing tabs by mistake), I can always find the original code.
I think that my programs are more readable like that.
