I love Python. I seriously do. Strong dynamic typing is awesome, so are lists and dictionaries, and people who BAWWWWWWW over forced indentation need to quit submitting entries to IOCCC and realize that forced indentation is a good thing.
This might just be one of those "Oh shit, I'm learning a new language, it's all novel and fresh for me, I love it." We'll see. I've been using Java for over four years now. Python is quite a breath of fresh air.

Anything that isn't Java is a breath of fresh air. Even fucking machine code.

There are more programming languages than are dreamt of in your philosopy, >>1. The good news is that Python can be your gateway to real languages.

if you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.

A persons programming skill is determined entirely by their cock size, as evidenced by the fact that only women and children program in Java.
This ``UBANTO'' you scoff so at was actually written by them banging their huge 12+ inchers on their Model M keyboards until their keys fell out, thus producing the exceptional quality of code that has made their distribution a favorite amongst people everywhere who can't configure Debian.

If you're using indentation, you might as well use FIOC. It only slows down your code.

Oh God, why is Linux Tarballs such a good troll. Look at the classics "I'm right because I'm right." and the "Large group of people are stupid and do it wrong, and no, I'm not going to explain why."
Heretic people all over the world have claimed that this inconsistency is ... well ... inconsistent, but all right-thinking people know that (a) K&R are _right_ and (b) K&R are right.
You've probably been told by your long-time Unix
user helper that "GNU emacs" automatically formats the C sources for you, and you've noticed that yes, it does do that, but the defaults it uses are less than desirable (in fact, they are worse than random typing - a infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU emacs would never make a good program).

HELLO IM LUNIS TARBALLS, I HAVE WRITTEN BIG PARTS OF THE LINUX KERNEL AND I DO MAINTAIN IT, THERE'S A HUGE GROUP OF MORONS OUT THERE THAT ARGUE WITH ME BECAUSE I AM IMPORTAND, MOREOVER I TELL TRUTHS THAT HURT AND THEY GET PISSED.
oh, wait.
__Double underscores__ and """triple quotes""" are even more horrible than FIOC. Seriously, being powerful and all, Python has the worst syntax (save APL) ever.

Use the RS and RE macros to start and end a section of indented text, respectively.
