I've got to throw my two cents in here. The Python community (or at least, the majority of it), insists on spaces instead of tabs. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ I don't want to start a discussion of which is better, as this is not the right place. However, Django is written using spaces, not tabs. The community tends to write with spaces, not tabs. The PEP says not to mix the two, and if a mix happens, convert all your code to use spaces, not tabs. So be wary if you ever plan on plugging someone else's Django application into your project. If you think tabs are better because you can highlight, then try this: http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=1040 Jay P. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
