No. In Python (the language you are using when you write Sage code) use
indentation to indicate blocks of code.

for i in range(100):
print i
print i^2

See
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/introduction.html?highlight=indentation#first-steps-towards-programming
for a longer introduction.

Thanks,

Jason

You an also use comments if you want to have some sort of explicit end
marker.

for i in range(100):
print i
print i^2

# end for

I used to do that when I was first learning Python.
