The use of indentation is IMO indeed a (very) weak point of python. Many
people however who use python like it. I've been using python for one
year now and I still deeply dislike it. However, the language is so nicely
crafted that its advantages easily outweigh the use of indentation. Hey,
no language is perfect! You might even start to like as many python users
do... 

About your last question:

anything in between ( and ) can span multile lines, fortunately.
