Subject: bug#22661: 25.0.91; python.el electric-indent misbehaviour with 'else:' and nested 'if:'
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:09:31 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a8n3z0ac.fsf@golux.woodcraft.me.uk> (raw)
If I have the following code and add the colon after the 'else',
python.el's electric-indent moves the 'else' to align with the inner
'if'.
def foo()
if aaa:
if bbb:
x = 1
y = 1
else
I think it would be much better to leave the else alone in this
situation (ie, when its current position matches an outer 'if'), for two
reasons:
- it's generally better to leave things alone than to make a guess
which is quite likely to be wrong;
- if the user has typed the whole thing in one go, then to reach this
situation they must have explicitly dedented the 'else' already.
(Seen in emacs 25.1 pretest; 24.5 is the same; checked with 'emacs -Q'.)
