[Pyobjc-dev] Tabs vs. Spaces

[<bb...@ma...>]

Please! Yes!  Move to spaces!  This causes a lot fewer problems when 
using an editor like TextEdit or Project Builder.  In the context of 
Project Builder, one can set it to only use spaces and, as such, cmd-[ 
and cmd-] dedent and indent the selection correctly (PB is actually not 
terribly painful to use as a Python editor).

When tabs are used, it is very easy to end up in a situation where the 
text is rendered such that two things look to be in the same scope, but 
one is not.

Spaces also make automatic processing and automatic generation of 
Python code a lot easier, in my experience.
