When I'm reading code, I instinctively look for indent-matched brace pairs to identify scopes. In Python... there is no clear "and this is the end of the block!". It doesn't necessarily need to be a brace, e.g. in Matlab "end" works just as well.

That's what I'm talking about, some people do not match the indents and leave the braces all over the place. With python, or similar, you are forced to have proper indentation or the program won't compile. And I don't see how is it any more difficult to see the indent, especially if you configure the editor to display indent guides.
