  1. How do I keep editors from inserting tabs into my Python source?
  2. ================================================================

  4. The FAQ does not recommend using tabs, and the Python style guide,
  5. **PEP 8**, recommends 4 spaces for distributed Python code; this is
  6. also the Emacs python-mode default.
  7.  
  8. Under any editor, mixing tabs and spaces is a bad idea.  MSVC is no
  9. different in this respect, and is easily configured to use spaces:
  10. Take Tools ‣ Options ‣ Tabs, and for file type "Default" set "Tab
  11. size" and "Indent size" to 4, and select the "Insert spaces" radio
  12. button.
  13.  
  14. Python raises "IndentationError" or "TabError" if mixed tabs and
  15. spaces are causing problems in leading whitespace. You may also run
  16. the "tabnanny" module to check a directory tree in batch mode.
