Expecting formatters to fix your broken blocks is a false economy with Python and smart indentation. It takes fewer keystrokes to write Python correctly, than to add delimiters so you could write it incorrectly.

Python’s tradeoffs pay dividends every day, at the expense of few questions a year. Also code is read 10x more than written, where the extra delimiters lower signal to noise.
