Newbie: White space

[Ryan Abrahams]

I am new to python, I am actualy using it for rendering (via the Lightflow
Python Module, at www.lightflowtech.com (and no I don't work for them)) and
what I wanted to know was does Python check white space, because I had some
code like this:

s.lightBegin()
    s.lightOn( Sunlight )
    Surface2 = s.newMaterial("standard", [ "ka", vector3( 0.5, 0.5, 0.0 ),
"kc", vector3( 0.4, 0.2, 0.0 ), "kd", 0.5, "km", 0.1 ] )
s.lightEnd()

and Python chucks a spit at the s.lightOn( Sunlight ) line. Now I have been
trying to figure it out, maybe python does not support whitespace, because
changing the code to

s.lightBegin()
s.lightOn( Sunlight )
Surface2 = s.newMaterial("standard", [ "ka", vector3( 0.5, 0.5, 0.0 ), "kc",
vector3( 0.4, 0.2, 0.0 ), "kd", 0.5, "km", 0.1 ] )
s.lightEnd()

and compiling it works perfectly. So is it Python that does not support hte
white space, or perhaps the module I am including.

Thanks
