For you vi folks put this in your .vimrc: autocmd BufEnter *.py set tabstop=4 expandtab softtabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 autoindent
which will use four spaces for tabs (for .py files only) and then you can run the command ":%retab" which will replace all <Tabs> with the value of tabstop (4 spaces in the above example). Christoph is right though... patches would be a nightmare if everybody is not coding to the same standard. -Seth -- Seth Remington SaberLogic LLC 661 Suite B Weber Drive Wadsworth, Ohio 44281 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: 330.335.6442 Fax: 330.336.8559 >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/16/07 5:34 PM >>> What if you stayed with tabs and then added a converter, so that you can quickly convert the tabs to the number of spaces that you want? In fact, this might be a good idea for a lot of free source Python projects distributed on the web -- though I would suspect it would be better to use tabs as the default and offer the ability to convert to space because sometimes it's possible it might not look quite right converting a project coded for spaces to tabs. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
