This is an interesting idea.

Isn't Python a tree language? Whitespace is significant...

How about YAML?

Good question. As I define it no, a tree language uses white space and only white space for syntax. While both python and yaml use white space for a portion of their syntax, the bulk of their syntax is traditional BNF.
