indentation's fine and the bracket nesting isn't.
Can I ask what editor(s) your students have available? I ask because
I've not given a moment's thought to indentation or what bracket matches
what for decades due to having a helpful editor.
How would your editor detect the error in the example I gave earlier?
(Where a tab has been inadvertently removed - or added - but the result
is still valid Python code.)
