One of the nice things with Python compared to, say C, is that what you see visually is what you get. I.e. if you use TAB and not spaces to indent lines or are very careful about how many spaces you put in, but then you lose the ability to quickly change the visual representation.

In C you actually use indentation when you write code to make it readable for humans, but the machine doesn't care, so there is a disconnect between the visual and how it is parsed.

You have to both use indentation add a lot of curly-braces to your code. In Pyhon you don't have this double-work.
