Some recent posts about Python programming style got me thinking. Since we have the PEP 8 which gives some guidelines about the style to be used, do we have any program that can check for violations of these guidelines within the source code? I understand that there are a lot of code beautifiers out there, but i haven't seen one specially tailored for Python... Is there even a desire in Python community for a program like this (by Python community I mean the people in this group:) ) ? I think it would be a nice little project for practice and I'd like to do it, but if there is already something like this then I can probably spend my time on something more productive. So, I'd like to hear your opinion on this... There is one thing that I don't understand about PEP 8 - why is using spaces considered more desirable than using tabs for indentation?
