For python the indentation only needs to be consistent locally, you could
have different styles in different locations inside the same file.
Example:
def t(x):
if x>0:
return x
else:
return -x
def f(x):
if x>0:
return x*x
else:
return -x*x
This is valid although I have never seen such style (for obvious reasons ;-)).
The cruel truth is that we use that style since it is emacs python mode
default.
