Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

Python: over a 1/2 century of experience that significant white space in a language is bad, thrown out the window.

You're missing some semi-colons so it doesn't compute. Sorry. :-)

Re:
Python doesn't need semicolons, unless you are putting multiple statements on one line. Sounds like you need to take the course ;)

They fixed it. :-)
Semicolons are optional in Python. Either your style is to always use them or never use them, not some mix-and-match. :-)
The preferred style is to not use them.

Also, you're not supposed to underline some of the strings. Either use underline for all string constants or no string constants. This doesn't read properly. :)

Re:
The visible linking of a couple strings is a concession to the need for clear links in this post -- a post which I think you may be starting to take a little too seriously :)

Re: significant white space in a language is bad
I think Python is a neat language, with many nice features that make it fun to use. It is currently my first resort for new programming projects.

And yet, I have to agree that attaching significance to whitespace in the way that it does—and inconsistently, to boot—is one of the few instances of genuine brain-damage in the language.

Re: Re:
I'm not taking it seriously. :-) But my head gets confused by all the styling issues in the code, so it doesn't compile in my head.
Besides, it would not be a big problem to make the other strings to link to some page, thus making them the same style. :-)

Python 2 Or Python 3?
That “(object)” tends to point to Python 2...

Re: Re: significant white space in a language is bad
I agree on all counts. Python's a great language. It's not my default go-to language, but it's in my top 5 favorites. However, that whitespace thing is horrible.
