Not necessarily; I also checked a little indent.py script that will
enforce my drug-induced code formatting preferences.....

It was actually getting *really* out of hand having a mixture of tab,
3-space and 4-space indent styles. I had to do something. Spent hours
experimenting with Jalopy and prettyprinter before I decided I could do
it in half an hour with a script...

Its wierd; this may actually be a regional thing. I have never actually
worked on any project where space-indenting was used. I've only ever
come across it in open source projects. 

Anyway its quite obviously an insane convention ;) .... 4 keystrokes
instead of 1? Inability to adjust indent size to suit reader preference?
The only thing it has going for it is that certain jurassic-age editors
weren't able to adjust tab-stops. I have never once run into this issue
in real life.
