It doesn't. Python uses tabs for indentation in its C source code, see
PEP 7.

I don't, since it makes editing these files more difficult for me, so
I will just change the file, and be done with it. Over time, I expect
that the unicodeobject.c will see a similar change - but not until a
major change is done to that file simultaneously.

I consider sre to be different in this respect, as the "master source"
is not the Python CVS, so making an exception seems appropriate.
