And just to make sure Martin totally abandons this folly , I'll start a little mini-flamewar on the all-tabs recommendation in PEP 7. :)

I actually don't consider this recommendation foolish. This is what Emacs does when I start editing a Python C file, so it is convenient for me to follow this PEP, and inconvenient to not follow it.

My specific recommendation is Emacs-specific: use the CC Mode "python" style, but with (setq c-basic-offset 8) and (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) I can provide some elisp if there's any interest.

Did you mean (setq c-basic-offset 4) here? If not, what is the advantage of these settings?
