Ha - you'd hate my code then. I like a lot of spaces, makes it easier for me to keep the blocks seperated.

I'm afraid that I abhor them. :-)

Please omit the space before ( in code. I find that very distracting. Example:

print result.Properties_ ("sValue").Value # current

print result.Properties_("sValue").Value # preferred, and how most code I've seen looks.

[Tim Roberts]
Do you understand that this is strictly a personal preference? Some people like it, some people don't. You are certainly allowed to "prefer" one over the other, but it's a bit much to ask someone else to change their coding style to match yours, unless you are a paying client. ;)

[Roger Dahlstrom]
I'd add to that that I prefer the space, and I only use notepad++ for coding. Everything worked fine for me.

On balance I'm inclined to stick to my spaces-before style, not
least because I've been coding that way for well over 20 years
and it's not that easy to change, even if I felt well-disposed.
(Which I don't :) )

Apologies to Bob & anyone else who finds this style irksome. As
you might imagine, I find the opposite style cluttered and hard
to read. Likewise I imagine there are many who find my two-spaces
indent style cluttered while I find even four and certainly any
more to be grotesquely elongated.
