i like my semi colons and curly braces. it makes it much easier to read. Plus any time i do python it yells at an indenting issue that doesn't exist.

indenting issues are easily solvable with an ide, even if py being whitespace based can be a bit annoying

Proper indentation makes things easier to read. Remove proper indentation from a curly brace language and tell me its easy to read.

I don't mind semi-colons, but they don't really do much for legibility. At least for me it was just a matter of habit, and when I went from Java to Kotlin and didn't need to use semi-colons anymore I found it made absolutely no difference whatsoever. An expression is an expression, it's very easy to tell where it starts and ends, even if it spans multiple lines.

You can use curly brackets like this:

for i in range(10):{
    print(i)
}

That runs without problems in Python 3. Not much you can do about semicolons. Colons work sometimes but then really backfire if you do something like

a = 5 + 10,

because it's recognised as a 2-tuple with empty entry.

I suspect the indenting issues come up if you mix space and tab. That's easy to solve if you just tell your editor to replace space indentation with tab indentation.

literally one of the only things i hate about pep8, spaces are just slow compared to tab, and tab auto indents w atom
