    You can use spaces in Python.

      Two, three or four spaces? If you answer wrong I’ll never forgive you

        Depends on the mood.

        Whatever your place defines as a standard. I’ve seen ugly code in C, JavaScript, Java, etc., that uses them all over the place because they’re not mandatory.

        If you don’t have consistent indenting, your code looks like copy/paste from several sources; but if you do have consistent indenting, then the indenting of Python is a non-issue.

        Per the Linux kernel coding style:

        Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.

          First off, I’d suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it. Burn them, it’s a great symbolic gesture.

        I’m rather partial to five myself but only when I’m feeling fancy.

      Indentation-driven control flow is one of the most cursed things ever invented, excluding things explicitly designed to inflict pain or death.

        Haskell has the choice of both indentation based and brackets for things like do blocks, but most people use indentation based cause it’s the norm and looks cleaner

        White space sensitive languages are evil.
