As has been pointed out, it's difficult to tell whether a space should 
mean a "." or "(". Or, as is also possible, "=" or "+" or any other kind 
of operator.

But even sticking only with "." and "(", then something like:

   a b c d e f g

could be interpreted in a myriad different ways. Python requires that 
this is determined at 'compile' time, but information about what each 
name is (class, instance, function, attribute etc), which might help 
resolve the ambiguity, isn't available until run-time.

It would be hard without extra clues, or extra restrictions on what is 
possible. But even if a translator could figure out what is what, a 
human reader will have trouble.

What's the problem with typing "." and "(" anyway; keyboard problems? 
(If so then keep away from languages such as C and C++ because they have 
a /lot/ more punctuation!) Or used to a language that doesn't require 
(,) around function arguments?
