I know this is flame bait, but TABs are 8 spaces in Python land :-) and most C files in Python that contain TABs and mix them with spaces rely on this. BTW: I don't blame anyone for the mixup - some editors simple go ahead and convert 8 spaces leading whitespace into TABs without the user knowing about this... after all, white on white looks all white in the end ;-) (there are even some steganographic systems out there, applying this scheme to embed data into text files). In any case, I think I need to remind people of PEP 7: Style Guide for C Code ... http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0007/ It already says: "At some point, the whole codebase may be converted to use only 4-space indents." > K > > -----Original Message----- > From: python-dev-bounces+kristjan=ccpgames....@python.org > [mailto:python-dev-bounces+kristjan=ccpgames....@python.org] On Behalf Of > M.-A.
