For me, i believe it was a grave mistake to allow "user defined indention" within a python module. Not only that, but allowing indentation to be inconsistent (within the same module) not only worse, it's insane! I could have "slightly" understood giving people a choice of how many indents to use however i cannot fathom the idiocy of allowing inconsistent indentation within the same module! Although GvR is no doubt a brilliant mind he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again in the name of muti-stylism. ¡Ay, caramba! Not that i find it *impossible* to read inconsistent indentation mind you, but that i find it blasphemous to the name of consistency. Programming languages MUST be consistent. Python should allow one and only one obvious way to indent a block; whether it be by a single tab char or by four spaces i don't care! But for crikey's sake pick one of them and stick with it!!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
