The problem is that Python programmers tend to think the job of readability is done just by indentation. This is wrong, and it shows in all sorts of readability issues. Many of which are in official docs.
Same could be said about people that ~~don't~~ think that indentation is not important for readability. Both are important, but if you really care about it defining an auto formatter and customising it for whatever consensus the team has is the only way to operate anyway.
You should really avoid double negatives. What you actually said was "Same could be said about people that think that indentation is important for readability“, which makes no sense in the context of the rest of your post.
And I'm not saying this just to be a dick about grammar. I mean, obviously I am, but not just that. If your English isn't readable, then I don't trust your Python, either.
My bad, I deleted part of the comment to rewrite it and forgot part of the original. And as you probably guessed I meant for it to be a single negative.
Good thing this is a casual forum and not a work environment where I would reread my code with care haha. There's a reason linters exist in code editors, it's for people like me.
