>Python forces the indent to match the semantics. It sounds great in theory, but it leads to problems in practice. If you copy and paste code from any language with C style syntax, it's trivial to fix the formatting based on where the braces are, and your editor can help. With python, testing a 10 line example program from a forum post can turn out to be quite difficult. Not to mention, if a tab character ends up anywhere in your program, you now have a syntax error that's completely invisible to the eye. Lastly, it makes it difficult to have clean syntax for multi-line statements.
