Re: pYthon indentation

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

I don't know much python yet but have used python-mode to code in 
python2.  When I write something for python a.k.a. python3 though the 
indents are each 2 spaces.  A tab character doesn't work by itself.  For 
that reason python-mode may need reconfiguration to tell it each indent 
is two spaces.  I don't know that using the tab key with python-mode can 
be caused to produce two spaced indents but if so that should solve your 
problem.
