This is what I imagine people's code looks like when they complain about the forced indentation in #python.

And yes, this code is correct.

@grimmy having worked with code where the indentation told a different story than the braces, python meaningfull indentation is a blessing.

@tshirtman I'm sure and that's precisely the point of this post, that regardless of language, indentation matters for readability and sanity ;)

@grimmy i mean, yes, but this one is obviously wrong, and thus one would likely tell their editor to reindent it correctly. It's worse when it looks right, but tell you some code is part of a codepath, but it's part of another (in or out of a condition, for example).
