Well Tim ***one could argue*** why not do a (i think it is called parser) that react to "loop", "end" and "function". And lazy like me do not have to think about "what is not part of program".
I certainly do not like the old bracket style it was a catastrophe, but in honesty the gui editor of python should have what i propose, a parser that indent automaticly at loops, functions and end. I promise you it will save millions of hours of bug searching all over world in a month.
