And lack of forced indentations. Forced indentations gets on my nerves even if I already gotten used to it. These day, all I use Python is small code snip test, and it's perfect for that as it strips out braces and other things which allows me to focus on a small code.

I did used to code in Python for slightly bigger things than that, but only to assist me with other coding languages. I mainly used it for aiding into G'MIC scripting (Domain-Specific Language that is absolutely wonderful for raster graphics image processing). After doing the code-assistance in Python, I never did anything bigger than code snips test again.
