Not really sure whether S-expressions or Python indentation-based scoping get more hate...
...from people who seem to refuse to install paredit or coloring plugins for either? ps lisp syntax ftw, it's a feature!

No it’s how Python wants you to format. Many times I want to separate two logical sections in one function and can’t coz Python go crazy
Can you give a concrete example? Because I don't understand what you mean.
Just put them in separate functions. If you have too many levels of indent, your code is convoluted. Sticking to the line length limit sometimes forces you to write more lines than you'd like to. But it makes everything so much more readable that it's 100% worth the trade off
What if the logic is more readable in one function?
I use whitespace to make my code more legible, python forces more whitespace consistency but it comes at the cost of limiting the legibility.
Are you saying that you want to separate your two logical sections by having different levels of indentation and that’s what makes Python go crazy?
