You can write readable code in any decent language, and you can just as easily write unreadable code in Python. The important variable is the programmer's skill, not some language-imposed restriction. Besides, bad use of white space is rarely what makes code unreadable. It's usually poor organization, functions/modules that are too long, non-descriptive names, overly complex class hierarchies, etc. I think Python is a nice language but I disagree that its whitespace rules make it so much more readable than other languages.
