    Didn't it send the sender as the first argument? Instead of other function calls in Python which require you to send the variable manually

    @RexOmni mh we probably aren't talking about the same thing, in talking about the common at the end of if/while/def/class statements :)

    @le717 indentation is here to define blocks. If we'd remove the colon from the language's grammar, nothing would change, there would be no trouble to know what's inside a if statement

    The colon does make it possible for Python wrappers and shells to know when to indent when writing code.
