Oh man do you like to argue.  I will go back to my starting description
before this job I had coded maybe 3 small tools in Python.  What I was
getting used to was Pythons libraries more than the spacing but yes the
spacing was part of it.  I had refused to use Python before because of the
spacing.  I like you was being rock headed and did not want to even give it
a chance.  Then I got this job.  It took me a month to pretty much find out
how the whole system works and to learn the tricks of dealing with python.
Now that is a month I might add when a whole week in that month was
administrative stuff including installing my computer.  At any rate You go
ahead pick up a language in a month and then tell me a month is too long.  I
like Python now even with the spacing.  I am not a Braille user I am 100%
blind speech works fine with it.  It has as much if not more libraries than
pearl and in some cases makes things easier to do than pearl.  I am not
going to argue with you anymore because you seem to enjoy it way too much.
And frankly I don't have the time I am working on an applet currently in
Python and want to finish it by tonight.  I started it an hour ago.

A whole month?!
It is much too much. One day would be enough, but I don't think I will start

to like python's indentation in a single day, and probably not even after a 
month.

Oh, or if you will say that you don't like it but you just get used to use 
it, then it is not enough.

For the moment I can choose the language I need to use and I can choose only

what I personally like, no matter what others say.

If I will see that I could be a part of a team that use python and I could 
earn much enough to make the necessary effort of getting used to use it, 
then I will probably start using it, but even in that case I don't think I 
will say that python indentation is friendly for the blind.
How friendly could it be if it requires a month to get used to use it?
