I beg to differ, at least when it comes to my experience working w/ Python. I work day in and day out on a 50,000+ line Python application and can't recall a single bug that was caused by whitespace indentation. But granted Python is better hand-written than generated... Working on a constantly moving code-base I've experienced more problems due to Python's dynamic typing, but that's a double-edged sword and on balance it's still a big plus. John
