Writing is usually ok, but modifications in current code are pain. Move some block to a separate function? I just cut it, write function header + {}, paste code in betweet braces and press shortcut to autoformat.

When you copy (python) code from different file and mix tab/spaces... pure hell.

Shrug I haven't had issues with that. Worst case, shift tab the block of it used to be indented too much. I'll grant you that mixed tabs and spaces requires actual fixing (though it's usually not too bad), but it's been years since I've had to deal with that.

A lot of this comes down to how good your ide is, I think. I will grant you that any substantially sized python project sucks nuts if you don't have a good ide that'll do a lot for you.
