I *really* like SciTE.

However, the properties for editing Python code (python.properties) causes 
SciTE 
to use hard tabs for indentation.  In the Python world, 4 spaces and no hard 
tabs is by far the most common indentation, and is recommended.

Also, a more common block comment characters sequence is "##" (instead of 
"#~"). 
 The SciTE documentation mentions a reason for the tilda (to distinguish 
between 
block comments and other comments).  But, I have not found a need for this.

So, I'd like to suggest that the following be added to the python.properties 
file in the distribution:

    tabsize.$(file.patterns.py)=4
    indent.size.$(file.patterns.py)=4
    use.tabs.$(file.patterns.py)=0
    comment.block.python=##
    comment.block.at.line.start.python=1

And, of course, if there are any Python people on the list who have a better 
way 
of coding the above options, then that would be great, too.

Has this already been discussed on this list.  I searched the list for this 
one, 
but could not find where it had been discussed before.

Thanks again for SciTE.

Dave
