Good grief! Pulling out this old saw? I have converted a *lot* of people to
Python, and I have not seen one whose surprise at forced indentation does not
deliquesce into delight or oblivion within a few hours.

the restrictions it imposes on white space.
DO you *really* disdain the fact that there are no obfuscated Python contests?
