as others have suggested this is a core to python as it enforces
readability. Many new python programmes find it strange but usually take
to it quite quickly.
what I find strange is that although these programmers initially disliked
forced indentation they were voluntarily indenting there existing code
anyway. Take a look at your existing code base & see if this would indeed
be the case.
Stephens suggestion of using comments @ the start & end of your blocks
may be useful during the learning phase.
