I find that Python's indentation is actually useful for beginners. It forces them to format their code and as long as they use an editor which shows invisible characters and can be configured to convert tabs to spaces, they tend to get used to it very quickly.

I say that as someone who has repeatedly had to help JS beginners with what I like to call accidental indentation (basically the result of copy-paste and accidental programming -- throwing code at the compiler until it works). Consistent indentation can go a long way for making code parseable by humans.
