Why does Python not have a set indent to keep code consistent between different programmers?

Answer 1

To be honest I haven't seen a real, big code being indented by any other number of spaces than four. There are some scripts here on SoloLearn that have two spaces because of many nested loops and/or complex if statements. But other than that, none.

Answer 2

Oh, it does. Check PEP 8 for reference:

Answer 3

I know that the good practice way is to use 4 spaces. My question is why python doesn't insist on it. Thanks for the link though. Useful!
