I am not a core developer, but I just kind of feel its hypocritical to oppose always using brackets for the development of \*python\*
CPython isn't written in Python, it's written in C. So we use C idioms, which naturally are different from Python idioms.
Yes, and always using brackets is an accepted C idiom (one of two, the other being only use brackets when you must). Always using them is more in line with the spirit of python.
And in the spirit of safety, which I think is Brett's concern.
Yes, there are tools that could catch the Apple bug, by catching incorrect indentation. But if the rule is to \*always\* use braces, that just feels safer. Even if it offends some people's ability to read everything at one glance (my suggestion: use a smaller font or a larger screen; or refactor the code so it isn't as big a chunk).
There's a fairly exhaustive list of styles here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent\_style
I'm sure that some of these have not been advocated in this thread.
