[TextMate] Problem with folding

I can't think of a way to get folding to work for Python code. I
think it's because of the way folding is implemented in TextMate, so I
don't think it's possible, but I'm hoping someone can think of
something.
In Python, all blocks are delineated by indentation. So, here's a
couple of blocks:
if 1:
foo()
bar()
else:
fnord()
You'd want to be able to fold "if 1:" through "bar()" and be able to
fold "else:" through "fnord()". I can't think of any way to do this
with TextMate's folding implementation.
It's easy enough to set a foldingStartMarker -- any line ending with a
":" (simply speaking). But what foldingStopMarker? The "mark" is the
next line with the same indendation as the starting line, but that
line is *not* part of the fold. You want the fold to end before that
line.
I'm tearing my hair out over here. Can anyone think of a clever way
to do this? Am I missing something, or is this just impossible with
the current implementation?
Thanks to anyone for help!
