[patch] sets PEP8 indenting suggestions as default in python files

[Lorenzo Bercelli]

This patch sets tabs as equal to 4 spaces in python files, as

​strongly ​

suggested by the PEP8

​ (​

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation

​)​

.

​​

 T

​his are probably some of the most often found options in .vimrc files, it's also the first thing suggested in all those 'create a python development environment with vim' tutorials, I think it would be easier to just make it default for python files​

.

You probably want :setlocal instead of :set in the filetype plugin.

Right, right, silly me. Here it is dutifully updated

Your text suggests to set tabstop to 4, but the patch makes clear that
you only set softtabstop and shiftwidth to 4. That is OK. Tabstop
should be at its default of 8 to avoid trouble.

Yes, I didn't explicitly set tabstop=8 because it's already default, should I ?

That may be a good idea. Python interprets ASCII TAB as being 8 spaces
wide, for the purposes of indentation:

I do not think so. Using mixed tabs/spaces is highly discouraged even by vim syntax highlighting; and it is even a syntax error in python 3. If tabs are not mixed with spaces it does not matter how wide they are.

The maintainer hasn't answered this email either. I'm sending you the patch again, assuming you approved it the last time.

OK. Let's make it one line:

" As suggested by PEP8.
setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=8

I'll also include the patch for keywordprg.
