    I even coded my first few python programs in nano text editor without any annoying indentation issues. I use TABs btw. Problems usually happen when people mix tabs with spaces

      Ah, now we stray into ‘holy war’ teritory. I’d agree with you should use tabs, but the language style guide says 4 spaces per level. As you saym don’t try to mix them.

        Most projects nowadays use auto formatting tools for convenience. Any python auto formatting tool will automatically convert tabs to spaces. Tabs are a no no in python, as their rendering might depend on the settings of the IDE. Spaces are nice and constant.
