Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java.
Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.

WTF? How stupid can a language get?

Unfortunately, though, most people have accepted C syntax as "the only true way". And in answer to 'what language is good enough', languages that derive from Pascal are -much easier- to understand than those derived from C.

So, do you indent your code in other languages? Of course you do; it's one of the first things any decent programmer learns to do.
Given that, what's the problem? All it does is help keep the code readable.

I agree with your comments.

I was in an, umm, less than sober state of mind last night and decided I needed a script to change a list of URLs into a list of HTML links. It worked perfectly the first time. I can't think of another language I could have done it in that would have worked as well.
If you have any interest in programming whatsoever, learn python. You'll be a better programmer in any language because of it.

If I need to change a list URLs into a list of HTML links I'll use a quick sed script, thank you.

For learner programmers, python is great to teach syntax of course. An alternative starting language such as C gives you more of an idea about how machines work, but this can be extremely intimidating for those just starting out.
Posting about learning a language on here is perhaps moot, due to the MacPython 2.3 installation present by default which is fine for begginers programming. A new user certainly shouldn't start with beta software.
