Description sdwyer 2010-01-25 11:35:23 UTC 
Most other languages have a checkbox that allows the global Expand Tabs to Spaces option to be overriden. The Python Formatting settings have no such option. This makes it difficult to indent with tabs for most languages, while conforming to the python convention of using spaces for indenting.

The options in question can be seen by opening the Options dialog, clicking the Editor menu, and selecting the Formatting tab.
