No source? No thanks.
Edit: Discard this comment! I thought pwk in the repo was an executable because it did not have a ".py" ending and did not care to check. Sorry!

#13Can someone help me understand the rationale behind semantic whitespace as a replacement for explicit delimiters? Is it purely aesthetic?

What? It's a python script, 'it' there is the source. It's executable via the python interpreter given in its shebang line.

It forces consistent formatting within a file.
But I think it was more relevant years ago. These days I see a lot of people using code formatters.

"pwk" is both code and "executable" -- you can open it with any text editor. I didn't want to name it "pwk.py" to save on typing on the command line.

Yeah that makes a bit more sense, thinking back to arguments about aligning hash key/value pairs in code reviews and how that just never seems to come up anymore (thank god)
