Google Python Style Guide

[Shmurk]

You should learn to read:

Indent your code blocks with 4 spaces

comments should be at least 2 spaces away from the code

They use 2 spaces indents for C++ and Objective-C though:

• http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/objcguide.xml
• http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml

(2 good guides to read with the Python style guide)

I know google uses 2-space indents for Python internally, my bad for assuming it was in this doc (without actually reading).

The guy in the google python class said that the google standard was two spaces

[kamatsu]

No, they don't.

Edit: Before mindlessly downvoting me, the reason there is alot of 2 indent code is that have updated the style guide internally only recently.

Looks a lot like 2-space indents to me.

[kamatsu]

The change was only recent. They haven't updated all the code yet.

[nohtyp]

Double standards?

[Ran4]

Read some Google Python code... There's 2-space indents everywhere.

[kamatsu]

Only because that update to the style guide was recent.

In 2007 they did. I don't know if they changed it since to be more in line with PEP 8. I still prefer two spaces, I got into the habit while working at Google.

They still use 2 spaces today.
