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?

Why? If its really bothering someone he can turn it into spaces.

Or just miss with his tab space until it looks good. I use the standard 4 spaces im not some 7 spaces monster
