This is all a bloody nightmare with Python. Do you really expect us to believe for a microsecond that the choice between "4 spaces" or "tab" is worse than the C brace wars? If you, as an employer, cannot get your programmers to follow your in-house style requirements, then what instructions can you get them to follow? Do they even bother to show up?
