Perhaps an IDE/editor that autoformats python code?
I am now more than a little embarrassed that this didn't even occur to me...

It's easy to verify. ;) I've just checked - that's not his password.

> the technical knowledge needed to create a pull request probably exceeds the knowledge needed to know why this doesn't work... The plural of anecdote is not data, but I have first hand experience with someone who can make a pull request but doesn't understand password best practices at all. Granted it might be because I taught them to make pull requests, but still... I know people who wrote code for their thesis in…
> I know people who wrote code for their thesis in Python but can't grasp why indentation matters. How can one write code (that runs!) for one's thesis without paying attention to Python's semantically significant whitespace?
I expect it was, as the other commenter said, probably via an IDE like PyCharm. I never asked because there's no good way to ask a question like that.
But that's my point, people's knowledge is all over the place. It's probably a joke, but it could easily not be.

It doesn't make a whole ton of sense because you'd still need to know when to un-indent in order to get out of a conditional block. IDEs can't read your mind.

I've never asked the details, I just know that they used Python before but couldn't cope with indentation when I worked with them on code.

I'm going to let this one slide, because most of us are not working today for various reasons, but I must note, I've never seen this side of GitHub. I probably spend too much time cloistered in work projects to notice.
Thanks for your benevolence.
