    Please elaborate (eg which standard is this defined in?)

      Not any standard (and actually not at all something to do for real), but try it, it works

      def magic(a, b, c):
          if a > 0:
          	if b > 0:
          	   		if c > 0:
          	   		  return 'All positive'
          
          return 'Not all positive'
      
      print(magic(1,2,3))
      print(magic(-1,1,2))
      print(magic(1,-1,0))
      print(magic(-1,-1,-2))
      

      (you should be able to verify I used both tab and spaces f*cking bad way in this example, like I described)

      Output:

      All positive
      Not all positive
      Not all positive
      Not all positive

        That’s really interesting. So does that mean the interpreter just checks whether the current line is more indented, less indented, or equal vs. the preceding, without caring by how much?
