I Was Right To Hate And Fear Python's Significant Whitespace: A Journey Of Revelation
Ah, it's not really the indentation it's complaining about; it's that I defined a function with no variables without putting () after it.
Sigh.
It's the little details that show they care.
Ok, now I hate Python's indentation for really.
I can't copy/paste text lines from a function I'm debugging from a text file into an interactive window, because indentation.
Every. Other. Scripting. Language. doesn't care because the indentation is whitespace and can be safely ignored.
Second massive way Python's indentation is a huge fail:
You want to quietly comment out a line in your script, like say an if statement? Delete that conditional, just make that code always run.
Haha lol nope
No really nope.
You gotta massacre that poor if statement, destroy your indentation, remove all traces and any way of quickly reverting it, otherwise it's an
*** INDENTATION ERROR ***
*** REDO FROM START? ***
