Description ddv36a78 2008-12-14 21:47:50 UTC
I *hate* Python space-indentation. This is the reason I don't code with Python.
Editors could provide a lot of help here.

IMHO the following features, discriminant ones (!), could be interesting for more than one developer:
(a) being able to create a Python code with bracket-indentation and then, to use a command to transform the code to use
space-indentation,
(b) get a code with space-indentation and use a command to transform it into a code with bracket-indentation.

So, 
(a) is bracket-indentation to space-indentation transformation
(b) is space-indentation to bracket-indentation transformation

I imagine transformation (b) may be done on-the-fly when opening a Python file if developers have set a specific option
into NetBeans.

Thanks.

I  don't think this is a good idea: when you are coding in a language you need to embrace it. Furthermore, we don't have the resources for that now. Closing this.

Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
