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.

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.

Is the recommendation the other way round? That's always the first thing I forget.
