Oh cmon, I can still write some z80 assembly from memory and remember the zx spectrum memory layout somewhat, but I check new programming languages now and then :)
I just meant that for someone coming from a language(s) where different kinds of delimiters are used to denote function bodies, a language that puts such a huge emphasis on whitespace was kinda throwing me off to get an error message slapped at me even though I was replicating the example letter by letter (although, obviously, I missed the importance of whitespace).
It's all fuzzy, but I'm sure I knew about the importance of whitespace in python long before I actually tried python.
Even Raymond's article which was one of the first whined about it [1]. I definitely remember reading that one and thinking I have to check out that language later.
