It would be good for Python to have more rigor in its definition. But the situation here doesn't have an analog in the Python world: there is no "PythonSpec" third-party test suite that is a) more complete than the official s

I suspect if you were presented with a piece of code where the indentation and the braces disagreed, you would believe the indentation. Yes, it's easy to parse at a glance if it is correct, and the indentation agrees with it. If it d
