Also, as an off-topic note, blank lines that contain tabs or spaces

Python did away with that requirement for scope in 2.x.  If you want to
use blank lines for code logic separation in python < 2.0, you must nest
the line as far as the current block.  For that reason, I don't use
blank lines within class or method definitions when writing for Python
1.5.x.

Hmm, I did not know this before.

*chalks up one more reason to avoid Python like the plague...*

Uh, care to rewrite that since Python is now on 2.3 and 1.5.2 is several years old?
