>>3 (syntax) seems to be about not supporting the author's own highly idiosyncratic habits, which include deep nesting and putting debug code in the first column (ugh). The result actually seems better for maintainability than the author's own unconstrained code would be. Telling users they are not good enough for your technology is not the way you go about these things. Also if this works in other languages, people do expect it should work in Python.
