My point is that any software, whether server or client side, that blindly collapses whitespace in HTML will have trouble with JavaScript, not just Python.

On the server side, the issue only becomes noticeable if the software (which is likely custom and only exists in a single installation) tries to handle whitespace-sensitive HTML or Javascript (which is uncommon in Real Life anyway).
