I thought the attractive part of Python has always been the whitespace!
Teaches everyone to respect indentation in programming.  Aids readability, eh?

But I'm a Java, C++, PHP, Ruby type of guy, so I'm actually quite used to 
braces.  And even so, our experience in training young minds in programming, 
shows that indentation is always a secondary, hence, unimportant, getting the 
job done is the most important.

But the best programmers will know that readability is also key.

So if this is about readability, I'd readily vote for Python.  (at the 
sacrifice of more keystrokes to indent of course)

Ever considered Scheme and LISP?  Only brackets.  Is that better?
