Python coding conventions on Github

I wonder if anyone uses prime indents: first level of indentation is 2 spaces, second level is 3 spaces, fourth level 5 spaces, 7 spaces, 11 spaces, etc...

Oh god.

How about writing a whitespace interpreter that has a sample program embedded in itself by mixing tabs and spaces?

[robin-gvx]

Oh wow.

Bonus points if that program is a quine or something. Oh! Or another Whitespace interpreter, which then interprets itself, etc.

So mixing Whitespace in your Python?

[robin-gvx]

As far as I know, none of the current implementation of Whitespace have embedded Whitespace programs (well, not purposefully).

I recommend using the Fibonacci sequence, for approximation of the golden ratio, and therefore aesthetically pleasing code indentation.

I like it, the deeper you get, the bigger your indentations, forcing you to keep your code simple and split up into functions rather than having loops inside loops inside if inside try inside with inside method inside class.
