If it is now official policy that different files use different styles, then I think it would be helpful to put Emacs variables at the end of each file. See the end of Objects/unicodeobject.c for an example. I'm not aware of a builtin function that adjusts c-mode automatically; I could fine a package that does some basic guessing, though: http://members.iinet.net.au/~bethandmark/elisp/mst-guess-indentation.el http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/guess-offset.el I've tried the second one briefly. It guesses c-basic-offset fairly well, but doesn't attempt to guess indent-tabs. This one does; I haven't tried it yet: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/dtrt-indent/ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=dtrt-indent.git;a=blob_plain;f=dtrt-indent.el;hb=HEAD Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ 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
