Further on this point, how about re-wording your point to this instead:

"Python uses indentation for blocks of code so you don't have to worry
about typing `}' or `end'"

...then perhaps summarize this excellent article:
http://www.secnetix.de/~olli/Python/block_indentation.hawk

I am constantly surprised to hear, and I quote, "I'd use python if it
weren't for the significant whitespace thing."  Shocked and awed,
even.  No, this is not just from gray-beard java programmers but also
from peach-fuzz rubyists (they should know better!).
