I don't care how you key them in. If your tab key moves you to the next position, that's good. If you convert a sequence of N spaces into a tab character, though, that's bad, because then your file ends up with a mix, and an inconsistent one. To make emacs safe for use with Python code, you'll need to reconfigure it so the tab key inserts either a tab character or spaces, but never switches between them. Personally, I like to use tab characters for indentation. You can choose how many pixels or ems or ens or spaces the actual visual shift is, and if I disagree with your choice, it won't affect anything. As long as tabs are used _exclusively_, Python won't be bothered by it either. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
