I would note that python code I've seen from the SCM transition work has
been 4 spaces. As is much other python out in the world, due I guess to
PEP8.
My brain will probably never recover if we ditch the beloved
8-space indentation... and yet it probably makes sense to consider
establishing a recommendation for opensolaris projects. 4-spaces is
probably the way to go :p
For the code which is mixing tabs and spaces, should we just invoke
python with '-tt'? PEP8 indicates that will cause mixed tabs and
spaces to be errors.
