Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Strange indentation space in python script

[Tim Meehan]

Should you use vi (vim) the following in your .vimrc file should display tabs as 4 spaces and more importantly insert 4 spaces instead of a tab when you hit the tab key.

set ts=4

set shiftwidth=4

set expandtab

I'll fess up to having committed such Python treachery by having made
some of those edits using an editor that didn't handle space/tabs
consistently.  I have since learned the error of my ways and have gone
down the Emacs path to redemption :-)

Seriously, though, it's one of the few downsides to Python, but an
important one--multiple developers should standardize on an editor to
avoid issues like this.  Most of the code in GNU Radio has been
written in Emacs.
