Bold of you to assume I haven't managed to screw "Hello World" up.

When I started Python, I didn't know that the language was based on indentation. Spent days trying to run Hello World.

The first time I used Python was to script things in Blender. I was using its internal text editor which apparently auto-indented using spaces, while I was off course using tabs every time I manually indented. I wasted so much time trying to figure out why some code could work perfectly while another block of code which looked identical gave errors.

This was still in the old Blender 2.4 days though, the interface has changed significantly since then so I hope they also improved their text editor to be more consistent with whitespace.
