Tabs vs. Spaces #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Not strictly a problem but an issue to be resolved.

pydelicious.py uses spaces for indentation (mostly, but a quick look just
now shows its a mix... goodness...)

my own preference leans towards tabs, now used in tests/* and tools/*

*Votes for tabs or spaces please?* Or does the project owner which to have
veto right? :)

I vote for using tabs throughout all of the code.

mvrgr, Berend

+1 for spaces only. People use different settings for tabs (4 spaces vs 6 
spaces vs 8
spaces, etc) and that can lead to ugly-lloking, especially if there are more 
than 2
people editing a file. See this thread for more :) :

yeah, I know its a Big Doctrinal Conflict [tm]
hope it doesn't flame up here :)

But even when using spaces, we need to arrive at a consensus on /how many/ 
spaces to
use for indent. This means people need to fix their editor rc's/config for this
project anyway (while I havent seen indents of 2 or 8 spaces, but anyway, I say 
its
1tab==4spaces) Btw, tabs don't change in number, and I, naively, expect most 
editors
allow you configure wether to expand tabs to spaces and how many spaces to use. 
(I
don't have a problem with it anyway).

So, in short... 
- Use tabs
- Use four spaces.

PS: please s/which/wish/ in my first post
