From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gabe You sound like a smart person so I'm curious about your answer to this question... If you put the wrong amount of indentation 5x, is it just possible that you just never *learned* Python properly before you tried to monkey code in it? I've coded in it for over 2 years and I've never spent long man hours debugging over wrong indentation. Sure I might make a mistake...but I find it sooner or later like in any other lang.
I didn't cause all 5 errors on check in- I'm discussing problems that a project had. I caused 1. Of course, that doesn't count the number of times it caused me problems which didn't get checked in- things I caught in bench testing.
Nope, I didn't learn Python first. We had a half written app, someone needed to help fix it, I got the short straw. That doesn't change the basic concept- something that has no effect on any other language out there, no effect in any written language I know of, and is largely different between different people's coding style SHOULD NOT become semanticly important in a language. Its a flaw in the language's design. Its like writing a language where the = sign means to add the two numbers. Sure, you can do it, but its stupid and will only lead to problems.
