Hi Ryan, Yeah, I know. I was taught to format my source code along with my fellow programming students back in my college days, but the point of all that formatting is so someone sighted can read it. Which is why I said it was unfortunate. It comes down to an issue of intent and who the code is written for in the first place.
Yes, were I writing something professional for a business, company, or a group of sighted programmers like myself I would certainly format everything so people can read it. However, if I'm punching out a quick and dirty script for myself, something I never intend to redistribute, then what's the sense in formatting it when I can not see it? Either way it doesn't really bother me much. I've been formatting code in various languages for a long time so the fact I have to properly format my code in Python isn't a big deal.I certainly don't have a problem doing it. Its just the issue it is not optional in Python where other languages aren't this anal about formatting. So let's not make a big deal out of an offhand comment. Cheers!
