The only requirement it imposes is that the choice of tabs vs. spaces for indentation is consistent throughout the whole file, turn on whitespace view if it's an issue OP

Wait what? It really requires 4 spaces specifically?

no it doesnt, he's a retard.

>use tabs for indentation
>everyone gets to use their preferred tab width on in their individual editor settings without stepping on each other's toes
>still get to use spaces for aligning items in the middle of a line which works great except for the occasional idiot who uses a non-monospace font in his editor
>use spaces for indentation
>"fuck you, do it my way"

>anyone using my code will have to deal with it
This just screams "I'm not a team player" and that you'd be horrid to work with developing software

More like, fuck you, do it the language documented way: python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/?#tabs-or-spaces

> Spaces are the preferred indentation method.

>doesn't specify any recommended number of spaces per indentation level
Guess I'll start using 1 space to indent now

How does Python interpret spaces vs tabs though?
If my "if" condition was written with a indentation of 4 spaces, but the code inside it was written using 2 tabs, will the code be inside it?

God damn it's not about tabs, it about that spaces are bad for readibility at all.

>muh standards

legit dont care so long as its consistent.

Worst python code I've seen is almost always the shit that uses tabs. This tells me the developer wasnt even competent enough to follow pep8.

it will probably throw an indent error. don't mix tabs and spaces in the same file. it assumes the first pattern it sees is what the rest of the file uses.

It's a standard, not a rule.
And last I checked, I don't have an employers dick to suck

this is how i know you dont have a tech job

The standard you should follow is the company standard

autist

>following PEP 8

I bet you would adhere to the GNU coding style standard as well. Absolute cuckery.

Python is the best language ever made apart from Javascript.

>4 spaces, no tab

What? I use tab, you can use either as long as you're self consistent within a script.

nano -ET4
You can thank me later. Or just set a real text editor to do spaces instead of tabs.

Glad you're unemployed, I'd hate to read your code

I use one hard tab per indent level in all my Python code.

Consider for a moment that spaces are unambiguous and tabs are editor-dependent.

Stop being retarded. Python supports tabs and every other consistent use of intendation.

Go + D = GoD programming language

>I've been baited this has to be a troll
retard use an ide that automatically does 4 spaces with tabs brainlet

why am I not surprised

why exactly is python taken seriously

>his editor doesn't automatically replace a tab with a configurable number of spaces

A tab jumps to the next increment of eight columns. Anyone disagreeing with this should unironically consider suicide.

Not everyone is an Emacsimumfaggot.

Nobody cares about Pajeet's Esthetic Protocol v8. A shit standard is still shit.

>Indentation requires 4 spaces. No tab.
Wrong.
You can use tabs or any number of spaces.
I indent Python with 3 spaces.

Program your editor to use 4 spaces instead of a tab when you press tab key.
Notepad ++ does this.
