This is the one thing I hate about python, because the spacing would differ between editors. I used vim to create the files on one system, and geany to edit them on another. Via uses 8 spaces in a tab (at least for me), while geany uses 4. This makes python mad, and drives me crazy.

Also, the rules for whitespace separation between things like loops, methods, and the rest of the code is annoying/ wierd (at least to me).

You know that editors let you change their defaults, right?

and that indentation defaults in decent editors are usually language dependent. I'm not familiar with these editors, but... come on - if they use one default for all files, OP should use a better tool.

Yes, but I don't normally program in python, so I never did. When I had to, I never thought of changing it (it wasn't for long anyways and was less of a thought out decision to do programming in vim)

Get a code formatter. Ruff is popular. So is black. Never think about it again.
