I think we should not do this. We should use 4 space indents for new files, but existing files should not be reindented. If you reindent, much of the history of the file is essentially lost -- "svn blame" will blame whoever reindented the code, and it's a pain to go back. There's also the issue of merging between the 2.x and 3.x branches, which we still do. As far as a decision, I think the de facto decision is to keep the status quo, and I'm all for sticking with that. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
