I believe either will work, so your call. If you really want to spark a tabs vs spaces holy war, I’ll throw my vote in for tabs: they’re semantic, whereas spaces are not–the meaning of a tab is “this is one level of indentation”. Using spaces for indentation is like using
<span class="italic">instead of<i>for italics.@boatswain
Seconding the semantic nature of tabs (have your $EDITOR display a literal tab as anything from 1 to N spaces), but I’m stuck in a world where Python standardized on 4-space indentation, so the ol’ “When in Rome” adage applies. :sigh:
