I recently converted from tabs to spaces. I probably still have some code that uses tabs, but most of my personal stuff has been converted. I like tabs. Tabs work better for me than spaces, because I know how to use them. Also, some "make" tools insist on tabs. Also, where many people like 4 spaces or 8 spaces, I prefer tabs expanded to 3 columns. But I finally acknowledged that some very smart people don't understand tabs, or don't want to learn how to use them. Also, I figured out how to get python files to use spaces and Makefile's to use tabs, using some slight vim configuration. So I'm using 4 spaces now. It's nice not having to ignore the relevant pep8 and pylint warnings anymore. And I don't miss tabs nearly as much as I thought I would. In fact, I'm not sure I miss them at all. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
