It's not just you; I completely agree.  Python (and a lot of 
ruby) is nearly unreadable to me even with wide tabstops.  I have 
a couple projects I started in Python that I've largely abandoned 
because of that. :/

I'm not overly attached to semicolons -- I think I could live 
without them in most cases -- but omitting something to properly 
denote blocks is a deal-breaker at this point.
