Python statements not forcing whitespace is messy?

Am I the only one that thinks that python statements should force
whitespace before and after them?
Right now this is not enforced and for an example these statements are
valid
print"hello"
"foo"if"bar"else"foobar"
for(x,y)in[(1,2),(3,4)]:print(x,y)
[(y)for(x,y)in[("foo",2),("bar",4)]if"foo"in(x)]
...and so on.
I know that writing code like this really shouldn't be done but
wouldn't it be a good idea to enforce the use of whitespace around
statements?
(I wrote a short blog post about this here http://blog.buffis.com/?p=55
but thought I would post here as well to see what other developers
think)
