Well, the only customisation I have regarding `indent-guide' is 
this:

(setq indent-guide-char "│")

And for me, it does work with if and other blocks.

Are you sure it doesn't work? Note that indent-guide doesn't show 
indentation if point is on the line that begins the block. So if 
you have:

```
def some_fun(arg):
 print("Hi!")
 if arg = 1:
   print("How are you?")
 elif arg = 2:
   print("How do you do?")
 else:
   print("I don't want to know you.")

Now if point is on the line `def...`, no indentation markers are 
shown. They appear when you move point down. Similarly, if point 
is on the line `if...`, it doesn't show the indentation of the if 
block but of the def block. Once you move down to the line 
`print("How are you?")`, it'll show the indentation of the if 
block.
