Same experience here. I guess that's because it's easier to miss a semicolon 
or a brace in PHP than a whitespace in Python. I had to program in Python 
for a few days last year. At first I had the same WTF reaction as Warp about 
indentation but I found it much less error-prone in that respect than PHP. I 
like PHP, but its unability to cope with missing stuff is a time sink, as it 
outputs anything from a blank page to hebrew (unexpected 
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM).
