In my other posting (to this thread) i ended with

    I guess that the "design prinicples" of python in

        http://www.python.org/dev/culture.html

    are mostly subjective categories, too, then.
    That's ok but i *like* them :-)

So i am not claiming that the cited reasons are "objective"
but still they are good reasons because they are based
on the commonly appreciated "design principles". 

And sure, readability is subjective.  Some people even claim
they have no problems reading perl code.  I do <wink>.  

I guess i appreciate it if other programmers are kindly enforced
to use indentation to express their intention regarding
conditional computations in an expression. 

Of course, myself i would only use it wisely. hehe.
