It's less of a problem in Python but it still exists. A lot of the day to day work of programming is moving and refactoring chunks of code around. Having to pay careful attention to white space the whole time makes this a lot more tedious and error prone than it is in languages without this feature.

The major programmers editors have been able to adjust indentation on paste for many, many years and, unlike YAML, that will get an immediate syntax error rather than parsing to something unexpected.
