visual indentation

Whitespace *is* significant in Python, and you should not try to circumvent
this using dirty tricks. Why not structuring your world definitions in the
standard way, putting the things that belong together in separate functions
or classes?

#disclaimer: no knowledge of CGKit involved in the following code
WHITE = (1.0,1.0,1.0)

def whitesurface():
    RiColor(*WHITE)
    RiSurface('constant')

def firstworld():
    whitesurface()
    RiSphere(1.0,-1.0,1.0,360)

def secondworld():
    whitesurface()
    RiSphere(1.0,-1.0,1.0,360)

for world in [firstworld, secondworld]:
    RiWorldBegin()
    world()
    RiWorldEnd()

I think the above is pretty readable, and you can always factor out
repeating chunks of code
