#Python makes such great use of that horizontal real estate. /s

@lattera Those are exceptionally long lines and high levels of indentation, compared to most #Python code I see. (Or honestly, compared to most mainstream languages... Java is the only one that comes to mind where the code tends to look a bit more like that.)

Agreed. That level of indentation is an almost sure indicator of code that needs to be refactored, due to bad design.

And as you say, it's true regardless of the language. People were writing badly structured code with excessive levels of indentation before we were born, and will be long after we're gone.
