    I normally love tabs and it’s what Go uses both by convention and it’s semi opinionated formatter. But PEP-8 suggests spaces and ultimately, consistency is more important.

    Not having to argue about tabs vs spaces lets us focus on the real problems, like vim vs emacs.

      I am aware but don’t know why four spaces is suggested. Tabs are consistant and flexible. Using spaces might cause errors in number of spaces and makes code messy.

      Also emacs for the win
