Just indent four spaces at the left margin and you have a readable listing:

    from numpy import arange
    
    # dimensional parameters for the set
    
    yl = -1.2
    yh = 1.2
    ys = .05
    
    xl = -2.05
    xh = 0.55
    xs = 0.03
    
    def mandelbrot(c):
      z = 0
      for n in range(10):
        z = z*z + c
        if(abs(z) > 2):
          return '.'
      return '*'
      
    s = ''
    for y in arange(yl,yh,ys):
      for x in arange(xl,xh,xs):
        s += mandelbrot(complex(x,y))
      s += '\n'
      
    print(s)
          
    Result:

If only Hacker News supported syntax highlighting and not adding a vertical scrollbar to formatted posts...
