Four spaces is now the "standard" according to PEP 8, replacing the
old style guide.  http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0008.html 

But then, the style guide says the same thing... How long ago was 8
considered the norm?

Good thing they reduced it ... it doesn't take too many levels of
indentation to get pretty cramped in a typical 80-character window!
