Because it is a pain in the ass. Now suddenly my program doesn't work
because I somehow inserted a tab instead of spaces.

The end would also gives extra protection against faulty manipulations.
I have at one time accidently copied a function partly further below.
Because python doesn't need an end, the compilor was unable to detect
this was only part of a function which caused a bug which was harder to
find.

Python made it's choice and I can live with that, but telling people
who prefer it had made an other choice that their brain is poisoned,
only shows you are unable to see the disadvantages.
