do you mean requirement of whitespace or how much space that takes up? Because you can change how many spaces python needs for its indentation to get some reduction in whitespace
I've been writing code for 40+ years. I know how to set up my editor, thanks.
If you copy and paste some Python code and it isn't indented properly, it breaks the python program. It's the stupidest thing I've seen in any language, including javascript (which isn't as stupid as many claim it is).
