Both

    if do_as_i_say:
        do_it()
    do_anyway()

and

    if do_as_i_say:
        do_it()
        do_anyway()

are syntactically valid, but the second is evidently semantically
wrong given the apparent intention of the author.

In my own code I often write

    if do_as_i_say:
        do_it()

    do_anyway()

for the first case for emphasis, but this is not a universally
acceptable solution.

    Isaac> Yes, it is very Python specific.

Well, yes, but python-mode is supposed to be Python-specific.
