[QUOTE="Grant Edwards, post: 3188194"] The problem is that to everybody else in the world, indentation in Python represents control flow nesting, not GUI widget nesting. Even assuming people can learn new things (in my experience an assumption to be somewhat avoided if possible), under your proposal indentation _sometimes_ represents control flow nesting, and sometimes doesn't. That imposes a much greater burden on the reader: they've got to spend a lot more mental energy to figure out whether the indentation of each line represents control flow or something else. That's a bad thing(TM) [/QUOTE]
