Python is a little looser about whitespace than one might expect from

Not sure what you mean here - is it a joke? The first looks like an if
statement, but isn't. The missing space *does* make a difference. (Try
"if0" instead.)
I see what you mean. It's a type annotation:
var: type
where the "type" is a print statement!
The second is normal indexing, which allows white space. I wouldn't
consider that surprising, but maybe I should? (Honest question, I really
don't know.)
