I noticed this while reviewing the code. The print function works like: ``` print (5) ``` This works with user-defined function too. Ideally, this is a function call and we should return an error stating that there shouldn't be any spaces between the function name and the parameters listed. This essentially is not good for people who're new to programming and learning to code with Python as their first language. |

Sorry, but ignoring that whitespace is part of the python language definition. At this point in time, whatever the merits of the "beginner" argument, it is not going to change, for backward compatibility reasons if nothing else. |

Hi, I agree that it can break backward compatibility. But maybe we can add some sort of warning message? The entire motive of this is to get new folks to understand how a function is ideally defined and called. |
