I don't have (and never had) to invest a "immense amount of effort"
to keep my Python code right. To me it looks you try to mold Python
into the shape of the (from your perspective) "normal" languages you
are more familiar with.

The solution to this is not, however, to change Python, but (for you)
to change your language (that is, not to use Python).

At first glance I thought like you, but after a while I discovered
that this "bizzare rule" is not only bizzare but a strong feature
of the language. If you open your eyes, some "bizzare" things may
enrich your life ;-) .

Maybe because hundreds of thousands programmers like it this way? :-)
