It isn't cute at all and I am quite serious. It is an accident that Python syntax pitted against sufficiently unsophisticated code displayers causes copy n paste breakage.
However, that breakage does mean that you have to at least read the code a bit. You either get to avoid a potential security flaw or gain a deeper understanding of an algorithm.
Fixing syntax does not break your ability to learn an algorithm but it will get you closer to its description.

With Python you are generally SIL not SOL.
