I'd have agreed six months ago - but since then perltidy has got to
me. Now I hardly ever manually format Perl - I just type stuff with
no whitespace and then hit the button I have bound to perltidy.
That's not possible with Python (although providing you indent
correctly everything else could certainly be pytidied) and I miss it.
