Category: IDLE Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: reson5 (reson5) Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: TAB SETTINGS DONT WORK (win) Initial Comment: Hi! I have downloaded newer version of Python and unfortunately the TAB settings in IDLE have no effect on the spaces inserted - ALWAYS 4 spaces. Previous release had the same problem. Win 2k, Python 2.4.2. Regards, Reson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2006-08-07 23:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 Yes, as designed. Python strongly encourages the use of four space indent. If you really need to change this for some reason, modify the config-main.def section [Indent] num-spaces value. The colums per tab dialog in tabify/untabify is used for converting tabbed code to spaced code. Weirdly indented code (i.e. 6 spaces) can be converted to tabs and then back to four space indent using those two functions. What is your use case? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kurt B.
