I'm new to Python and have been using IDLE 3.2.3 to experiment with code as I learn. Despite being configured to use a 4 space indentation width, sometimes IDLE's "smart" indentation insists upon using width-8 tabs.
>From what I've been able to find on Google, this is due to a shortcoming in Tk. While it's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, I think it looks like poop, and I'd like to change IDLE to use 4-space indentation instead of tabs for all indentation levels. Is there any way for me to achieve what I want in IDLE, or do I have to start up my full-blown IDE if I want consistent 4-space indentation? Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
