Having set a policy about policy discussions and then breaking it the first thing you do is not a good policy. If there is no rush, don't break the rules. On the contrary, how can I feel confidence in the rules if they are beeing broken. > Proposal: letâs follow PEP-8. > http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ > > * use 4 spaces per indentation level > * never max tabs and spaces In the code I presume, in strings this wouldn't apply. > * Code indented with a mixture of tabs and spaces should be > converted to using spaces exclusively Presenting rules without rationales, gives no ground for decisions. One could the feeling that this is pure nonsense. If you really care about this, provide a pretty printer instead, and stipulate that all code should go through that. I propose instead: . Don't ever provide patches whith white space changes (in the code) unless the patch is only about white space changes Regards, /Karl Hammar ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Aspö Data Lilla Aspö 148 S-742 94 Östhammar Sweden +46 173 140 57 _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
