I have just begun reading a PDF on Assembly language. One of the terms it mentioned and encouraged the reader to research further is "pipelining". I looked this up and read a brief description on WikiPedia; a section of the article stated: "In [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing"][COLOR=#0000ff]computing[/COLOR][/URL], a [B]pipeline[/B] is a set of …

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?
