::I think the indentation is important enough to be mentioned in the lead. [[User:Ulner|Ulner]] ([[User talk:Ulner|talk]]) 21:37, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

:: I think indentation makes Python "special". We could add the GvR's argument: you already use space/tabs to indent your code, why not make it part of the language (for better and for worst)? --[[User:0x6adb015|0x6adb015]] ([[User talk:0x6adb015|talk]]) 12:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

== No "mere" in scripting ==

I think the word mere should be dropped when describing scripting in the heading as it smacks of being (wrongly) ashamed of your parents. There is nothing "mere" about scripting. It is the essential glue that binds many a system and central to how things get done on Unix-like systems. Yes, it may be thought by some to be beneath other programming but Python practitioners should know better.

Drop the word! --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 06:44, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

== Example? ==

Wouldn't it be nice to have an example code? --[[User:JokerXtreme|JokerXtreme]] ([[User talk:JokerXtreme|talk]]) 11:35, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

:Yes, it would. Perhaps a classic 'Hello world'. [[Special:Contributions/95.147.185.198|95.147.185.198]] ([[User talk:95.147.185.198|talk]]) 19:20, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

::I've added a couple of simple examples that may help. We need to be careful not to add too much - Wikipedia is not a 'How To'. [[User:Peterl|peterl]] ([[User talk:Peterl|talk]]) 10:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
