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.

What's New
Version 3.4.0rc1:
New expected features for Python implementations:
- pip should always be "available" (PEP 453).
- Make newly created file descriptors non-inheritable (PEP 446).
- command line option for isolated mode, (issue 16499).
- improvements in the handling of codecs that are not text encodings (multiple issues).
- A ModuleSpec Type for the Import System (PEP 451). (Affects importer authors.)
- asyncio: New provisional API for asynchronous IO (PEP 3156).
- ensurepip: Bootstrapping the pip installer (PEP 453).
- enum: Support for enumeration types (PEP 435).
- pathlib: Object-oriented filesystem paths (PEP 428).
- selectors: High-level and efficient I/O multiplexing, built upon the select module primitives (part of PEP 3156).
- statistics: A basic numerically stable statistics library (PEP 450).
- tracemalloc: Trace Python memory allocations (PEP 454).
- Single-dispatch generic functions in functools (PEP 443).
- New pickle protocol 4 (PEP 3154).
- TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 support for ssl (issue 16692).
- multiprocessing now has an option to avoid using os.fork on Unix (issue 8713).
- email has a new submodule, contentmanager, and a new Message subclass (EmailMessage) that simplify MIME handling (issue 18891).
- The ipaddress module API has been declared stable
- Safe object finalization (PEP 442).
- Leveraging PEP 442, module globals are no longer set to None during finalization, in most cases (issue 18214).
- Configurable memory allocators (PEP 445).
- Secure and interchangeable hash algorithm (PEP 456).
- Argument Clinic (PEP 436).
- The marshal format has been made more compact and efficient (issue 16475).

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 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.
