Agreed. Though I'm mostly a scheme and C hacker these days, I did Python professionally for about 13 years, and that is a very nice side effect of the whitespace thing. On the other, Python has no decent equivalent of Lisp's let, and complex or nested Clojures of anonymous functions are butt ugly in Python, so now I'm happy with my parens.
