[Python-Dev] Reindenting unicodedata.c (original) (raw)

Does that have the effect of expanding all tabs? unicodeobject.c does use tabs for indenting multiple levels.

FWIW, if you want 4-space indents, I think you should use all spaces and not use tabs for double indents. The tabs will be confusing when the code is viewed with a different tab setting (which is sometimes unavoidable).

In my revised patch for unicodedata.c, I put just

/* Local variables: c-basic-offset: 4 End: */ unicodedata.c is inconsistent in this respect: it sometimes uses tabs, and sometimes spaces.

Even MAL can't complain if you fix that to use all spaces.
