Just curious, but why is spacing an issue? Just use an auto-formatter or something. A proper IDE will also have similar tools to fix it for you

I find it harder to immediately realize and distinguish blocks. I feel that it requires more visual concentration, and if indentation is messed up, then it becomes a dumb tab counting game. Disclaimer: I’m a python beginner
That makes sense. The curly braces do help to identify immediate blocks but I guess the problem is that blocks are too big and can’t be identified in a single screen. Although usually easier said than done
