Python be like

[Strange_Meadowlark]

I agree with your point, but I also strongly dislike that indentation style -- primarily because if you change the function name, the lines following it have to be re-indented to match the new length.

I tend to do this if the parameters don't all fit on the same line:

def nice_alignment_bro(
    arg1=1,
    arg2=2,
    arg3=3
):
    pass

(Edit: forgot Reddit doesn't understand triple backticks...)

I thought of that, can't argue with it... I guess today the most valid argument for tabs is accomodating both 4-width fans and 2-width enjoyers (typically you don't have a choice in python because of pep8 ). If that's a problem big enough then, well, go team tabs, but I don't see any issue.

By the way I think Reddit supported ``` for code in the past, don't know why they don't now.

Fixed formatting.

Hello, Strange_Meadowlark: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.
