My suggestion is: - never ever use tabs; tabs were nice when they had a de-facto meaning (tabbing to next 8-space boundary) nowdays they're just noise as the meaning depends on the phase of the moon. Making tabs meaning anything had the pretty obvious implication of making tabs meaning nothing. - stick to 4-space indent I've even run in the past in editors that damaged my python sources because they were indented with two spaces (I'm used to an indent size of 2 when working in C/C++). With python IMO 4 spaces is perfectly adequate anyway; onced I tried it I never had the temptation of looking back. Andrea -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
