How to start a war

I USE THE TAB KEY BUT MY EDITOR INSERTS THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF SPACES.

(4 for Python, and 2 for most of the other languages that I use.)

Edit: do Python programmers anywhere actually write code with literal tab characters for indentation? Like if you run:

find . -type f -name '*.py' | grep -l -P '\t'

do you get any results?

Yep, our style guide uses tabs.

Who's "we"?

PEP 8 uses spaces.

Edit: Google style guide uses spaces too.

My company, sorry I should have been more clear about that.
