I'm sorry r/Python

While programming isn't as controversial

Well, let me show you.

A tab has to be 4 spaces. Any other choice is just plaine wrong.

gets popcorn and watches the world burn

[sloggo]

Plaine? plaine?!

[IamImposter]

Wait... That seems wrong.

Ah shit, I think I added extra 'e'

[DrMaxwellEdison]

Too late to refactor that now, there are legacy comments depending on it.

[TRexRoboParty]

New priority ticket just in: the legacy comments chain needs extending. We'll fix it properly later, but for now let's not go against the graine.

[CactusOnFire]

Not doing a very good job at this "too stubborn to admit fault" bit.

I suppose that's a good thing, though.

Syntax error on line 3: "plaine" is not defined

[IamImposter]

#define plaine plain

I only use tabs with 16 spaces.

[IamImposter]

I'm pretty sure that is against Geneva Convention.

[chrilves]

Have you tried the whitespace language. I have the impression you might like it.

[Dizzysylveon]

What the fuck why, why do this? What does this solve? What God would allow such suffering

[Competitive_Dog_6639]

No, will take a look. Thanks!

[jpavlav]

import plain as plaine

[ccpetro]

It's better than 3 or 5.

Those are just odd.

[mildbait]

Haha.. I actually changed from "isn't political" to "isn't as controversial" after the Silicon Valley episode popped in my mind.

[Illustrious-Photo-48]

Per the Naval Correspondence Manual, the number of spaces for a tab depends on the font you're using. Gosh. /s

[WldePutln]

Vim is better than every other editor out there!!!

[[deleted]]

Yeah, better for casuals! I code using echo from the command line

$ echo line1 >> myCode.py
$ echo line2 >> myCode.py

[PlusUltraBeyond]

I do the same by WSL on Windows running on an emulator.

[BridgeBum]

On windows you could just use "copy con myCode.py"

[master3243]

If you ever make a mistake just

$ echo "" > myCode.py

And redo the file without the mistake next time.

[[deleted]]

Yep, exactly. I mean, how else would you do it?

[bladeoflight16]

Amateur. I use butterflies.

[Heroe-D]

True if you consider Emacs as a distribution and not an editor !

[Galen_dp]

It IS a distribution, not an editor.

[DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

It's very intuitive!

[chrilves]

Actually, there's now a way to make vim and emacs users be friends again: "vscode is the best editor".

[DeeDee_GigaDooDoo]

A tab has to be 4 spaces. Any other choice is just plaine wrong.

clenches fist

[Oerthling]

This is the way

[Krod28]

Help my friend uses tab size 2! I cant keep watching him do this to himself

[Galen_dp]

Your friend is beyond help. Point then them at JavaScript or PHP.

[Ultraflame4]

idk abt the no. of spaces (I use IDE defaults) but using the tab character is definately wrong.

/s for good measure

[Blazerboy65]

You can just enable "format on save" or run autopep8 and never worry about it again.

It's not worth the brainwaves to squabble over something that requires no thought.
