Uhm maybe I'm confused but isn't that the whole design philosophy behind python? It makes bad indentation a syntax error!
- aninhumer 13y ago>It makes bad indentation a syntax error! No, its syntax for determining block structure is indentation. The designers didn't say "Hey lets complain about bad indentation" they said "Hey, people should be indenting their code properly anyway, so why not make that the syntax?" Also, they didn't introduce it to an existing project, it was there from the beginning (AFAIK).
