Coworker takes PEP8 as gospel and uses 4 spaces to indent. I prefer tabs. Boss want's us to unify. The sole thing you get with spaces as far as I can tell, is that someone loading the code into Notepad will still see a 4 character indent. That may be true, but that same person is going to have a difficult time editing the code.
Anyway, I gave up the 80 char line length long ago, having little feeling for some dolt on a Weiss terminal that for some reason needs to edit my code. I feel rather the same about the spaces and tabs, given that most people seem to be using editors these days that are configurable to show tabs a four characters. Any evidence out there that this part of PEP8 is becoming more optional or even obsolete, as I've heard others say about the 80 char line length? Just need ammo for when the hammer of code unification comes down. Thanks, Tobiah -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
