It never crossed my mind about the problem you have mentioned.
The indentation proposal that you have put forth is infact a beaten up one, and I think, python gurus did not subscribe to it. Your requirement, in fact requests to look at it from a new perspective.
We got to figure out what the different ways in which this issue can be handled.a) Screen Reader Clients. Can Screen Reader have a plugin, that will overlay a brackets to the indented code. ?
b) How does software like voicecode handle the scenario?
c) Have you spoken to other python programmers like you? I can remember 'Peter Lundblad' who works on 'svn' and I kind of feel that he must have worked on Python as well. They will be your best guide, IMHO.
>From a normal user perspective, I can feel that addition of _{ and _} to the language proper is not going to be acceptable by many users/programmers.
