The standard for Python files in releases is that they use 4-column indents,
all spaces.  If you know of some specific .py file in the CVS tree that
violates this standard, feel encouraged to submit a patch to fix it, or,
failing that, to open a bug report (preferably naming the specific modules
in question).

Submitting patches and filing bugs are both done here:
