I don't use Python for this very reason. This is probably why
Ruby exists. I will not use your language for the same reason.
By adopting such draconian white space rules you automatically
alienate a large number of programmers.
A blind programmer once told me that Python's whitespace block
structure was simply too high of a barrier for him to use it.
straying off-topic, but ...
the Python distribution includes a tool called 'pindent'. it
happily
annotates Python source with block-closing comments and converts
haphazardly indented source with block-closing comments into
correctly indented Python source.
