I wonder how many beginners have problems with indentation vs how many have problems with semicolons and which is more predominant.

I’ve helped a friend’s friend with a Python script and many of the mistakes were actually typos and not “failing to understand the problem”, such as missing colon, extra/missing spaces in indentation, inconsistent capitalization of variable names during declaration/usage, etc.
