<s>[INST] Tabs versus spaces in Python programming I have always used tabs for indentation when I do Python programming. But then I came across a question here on SO where someone pointed out that most Python programmers use spaces instead of tabs to minimize editor-to-editor mistakes.
How does that make a difference? Are there other reasons why one would use spaces instead of tabs for Python? Or is it simply not true?
Should I switch my editor to insert spaces instead of tabs right away or keep on going like I used to?
 [/INST] Tired of chasing after indentation typos ( 8 spaces ? no, 7 oops 9 ... ) I switched my sources to 'tabs only'.
1 tab == 1 indent level, full stop
The point is: if you want to display the indentation as 4, 8 or pi / 12 character width, just change the settings in your text editor, don't mess with the code :p
(personally I use 4 char width tab... but some would prefer 3 or 8 space, or even use variable width fonts !!)
