>Python does have a separator. It's the newline. Ada treats newline as whitespace same as space or tab.

	Not quite... a newline with unclosed paren/brace/bracket is just
logically another space/tab

x = f(a,
		b,
		c)

	Gets really fun with strings, as Python concatenates adjacent string
literals...

>>> longstr = (	"part one"
... 	"part two "
... 	"part three"	)
>>> longstr
'part onepart two part three'
>>> 
>>> longstr = [ "part one"
... 	"part two "
... 	"part three"	]
>>> longstr
['part onepart two part three']
>>> 
	{Difference being that the () just grouped the three, while [] defines
a list -- of one element, being the concatenated strings}
