Tools for this already exist. On Linux/UNIX, they might look like
the following:
Convert from 2 space indents into 4 space indents:
$ cat oldfile.py | unexpand -t 2 | expand -t 4 > newfile.py
Convert from 4 space indents into 2 space indents:
$ cat oldfile.py | unexpand -t 4 | expand -t 2 > newfile.py
If you are on MS Windows, I believe that you can get replacements
for the above tools here:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
Also look at scripts contained in the Tools/scripts/ directory of
the Python source code distribution. In particular, these may be of
interest: reindent.py and tabify.py. And, for those who feel that
they must have some marker at the end of a block (in addition to an
"out-dent"), look at Tools/scripts/pindent.py.
