Handle blocks of code independant of formatting constraints like indenting.
All the while enabling decades of bike shed arguments about brace formatting and countless bugs due to optional braces (because they are under-constrained).
Furthermore you need to indent it properly.
It was a single expression after the print. Python allows him indent it any way he wants to. He could have arranged the expression into a variety of pretty cascaded tree shapes similar to lisp code (especially if he slapped one more set of parens around the whole thing), and Python would have parsed it just fine. Leaving it on one line works just as well, as would random indentation.
Python's block indentation rules applies only to statements.
