Hi Tyler, That's the truth. It is really a visual thing. Python is clearly a programming language designed for sighted programmers. The main reason it requires x amount of white space and formatted specifically according to a set of formatting rules is strictly for visual reasons. It looks better and is easier to understand when all of the code is ligned up properly. While that doesn't prevent a blind person from programming in Python it can be annoying to stick to strict formatting rules that don't really do us any good to use them. On the other hand Python's anal desire for correct formatting is a small price to pay for the ease of the language. You can write hello world in one line of code like print "Hello world!" and save it to hello.py and run it with python.exe. It doesn't get any easier than that. To do the same thing in C or C++ is quite a bit longer.
