Python: Code like a pythonista

http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pyc … ndout.html

Stumbled across that in a google search... some really useful things in there that I never knew. Hopefully it's useful to someone else.

Re: Python: Code like a pythonista

Quite interesting read, indeed.

But, I have never understood the

- 4 spaces per indentation level.
- No hard tabs.

argument.

Re: Python: Code like a pythonista

First it was 8 spaces per level, but that was too much. Maybe becouse line shouldn't been longer than 78 chars. And why no hard tabs? Becouse.

It's a bikeshed. There are arguments for and against both sides - a coder's holy war. The only way to solve it is to say "screw you all, do it this way". Guido did just that.

Well, they couldn't very well argue about bracing styles.

Right. Clear directives are better than loose. Although, I guess I'll have to deviate from this particular suggestion, for the same reason I won't use 2 space indentations in Ruby.

Consistency is what really matters. I can show you a bunch of code, written in number of editors by a group of people who did not really care about consistency. Hopefully this is only C code, easy to fix with indent.
