Funny, the forced indentation is what I hate about Python. If you think a missing semicolon can be hard to catch, don't ever think about a missing whitespace :p

The end keyword really isn't a big deal for me. I find it to be a good way to easily spot the end of a method. But if you wouldn't like it I'd still find it a good compromise to avoid syntax issues due to whitespace.

i can count on one hand how many times ive had white space issues in 15 years of using python. its just not an issue

Same and agreed, especially if you keep your functions small and focused as you should. 3-5 indents is nbd to keep track of, and if you need more than that... No you don't, refactor.

I've had way more hangups with brackets then indentation, personally, not that either is a super frequent issue, but I'm indenting anyway, so brackets are redundant and just another thing I have to keep track of

} helps me easily spot the end of stuff. end just blends into the statements.
