That was a metaphor, it was predictable that arguments will touch some retro aspects, but it was quite unpredictable that till now I did not see good arguments for spaces, and I was interested of course to see some technical aspects. So one of mentioned points for spaces which I can count as more or less real argument, that many web forms keep converting tabs to spaces, when I paste code into them and when I copy back into the editor, I need again to convert them. This is not a good argument against tabs but this is at least a *real* issue. Unlike other, (not so logical or yet not supported) arguments. Does it sound reasonable? Why I ask? Well obviously because I and probably many people want to know why cannot one make sort of styleguide based on pros and cons. Mikhail -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
