At work, since we have a fairly small core of developers, we standardized on tabs - mainly because of a couple of devs who disagreed on how much indentation looked right (I'm of the opinion that 1 space is insufficient), and having tab characters in the file allows us to configure our editors differently. I'm definitely in favour of using tabs where possible, but if you can't close your environment, spaces are far safer. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
