do people really complain about significant whitespace?

I like running reindent.py (found in your Python source directory under
Tools/Scripts) which cleans up indentations, trailing whitespace, and
other things.  We run our entire source directory through reindent
before we check it into our library.  A very nice routine courtesy of
Tim Peters, I believe.
