It was harder to explain why picking on Python for this is dumb, before gotofail... (Not saying that's what you're doing, but it feels close, so this is relevant.)
For whitespace, my rule is this: If any level of indentation depends on the length of any word or name, you're doing it wrong. If using a more descriptive name causes indentation where previously there was none, that's fine, but if moving the opening parens causes the interior to be indented more, less so. (Yes, Golang's structs)
