Really?  I have never seen bugs in C related to indentation.  I have
seen plenty related to braces.  What I have seen is bugs hidden by the
indentation not matching the block structure.  Wrong indentation in
Python *is* a bug.  There's no other visual signal to hide the error.

But I can see the other end of the block in Python.  I don't need any
tricks to make sure that it is the end.  And if your block is too big
to see the structure easily then that just means that some code should
be factored out to a method.
