Concerning Python Indentation Syntax:

I have researched this and read some reasoning behind indentation-level enforcement. My question is: does this exist simply to ensure consistency when dealing with nested statements, a precaution against sloppy composition of code?

I am not complaining about this, and actually I somewhat like this, but it seems to always crop up while compiling, improper indentations throughout my code say, for example, if I add a snippet of code such as a RNG just to test it out; I must then stop and format everything beneath the inserted code in order to get a valid run. This is not much different than stopping to fix C++ errors before a valid compile except for those errors never really relate to indentation.

As I said, I do not dislike this feature, this rule of Python, as I pretty much like everything about Python. I just wish to understand (from someone well acquainted with this language) why the enforcement of indentation was decided upon by the designer of Python as a necessary "evil" :cheesy: . Just curious.
