I hope you meant to say "*forced* indention for code blocks"! "Forced"
being the key word here. What about tabs over spaces, have you decided
the worth of one over the other or are you going to repeat Guido's
folly?

And please, i love Python, but the language is a bit asymmetrical. Do
try to bring some symmetry to this new language. You can learn a lot
from GvR's triumphs, however, you can learn even more from his follys.
