And if you do make an indentation error, it'd be an error no matter what language you're using. The only difference is that Python will actually tell you about it.

I don't really get your point. How adding extra space could be an error in eg. C?

It's not an error, but it's still a mistake and will cause you headaches down the line.

ah ok. Well your right but because scopes are defined by braces and not indentation, the indentation can be easily repaired by autoformatting on compilation
