That doesn't mean that is how Python should be written
I'm always wary of this kind of argument. C++ and PHP weenies say something like this a lot.

Most of Python example code on the web written by non-idiots (particularly people involved in development of Python) follows at least the most rudimentary typogragphic conventions.
Unfortunately, from anecdotal experience, they're the minority.

Most people seem to know how to indent in any language, but there's something about a lack of an end delimiter that causes them to go stupid. Lisp seems to be afflicted with this too to some degree, maybe because they cluster the closing parens at the right.
