python -c 'import sys; a = int(sys.stdin.readline())) ; print(range(a))'
EDIT: Not that I'm saying piep is useless; far from it, it seems very interesting. I'm saying that optional {}s wouldn't solve the problem that piep is trying to solve.
Yes, but my point was: How do you add an if to that Python code... or anything else dependent on Python indentation?
Another example: map {} is better than having to learn weird single instruction variants like list comprehensions. And so on.
In this case, it is easy to have a shell alias that loads a module and executes its parameter in any other language. Then you have any piep functionality not already built in. Ergo, no need for extra things to learn, in those languages.
You add an if using the ternary style syntax. i.e. "if foo then bar else baz". I think that's sufficient for what piep is trying to do. I can't imagine trying to do anything else with indentation that couldn't be accomplished with list comprehensions.
piep seems to be designed for quick processing on the command line. If you want to do something especially complicated, you can (and probably should) write a separate script for it.

Python one-liners are already possible using ;

Sigh, do people really don't want to see that full support for one liners (not to mention anon funs of > 1 instruction) is a feature?! :-(
