unreachable code

[Skaperen]

who thinks Python should warn newbies about unreachable code such as code at the same indent that follows a return or continue?

I say let the IDE catch it instead of the python interpreter. There’s no need to stop a running script for something so trivial. Even a beginner will eventually figure out what's going on and it will be a learning experience. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

what if the IDE is a plain ole editor?
