Xemacs Python Mode.

[Chris Barker]

Thanks Gary,

This gets me close enough to be functional, but isn't quite there. The
problem is that if there are spaces in there, it won't reset them to
tabs, which is what I would like. For the most part, it won't be an
issue, but I'd just like it to be totally consistent.

What I really want is for Python mode to have an option like
"use-only-tabs" or "use-only-spaces". In fact all you would really need
to do is have py-indent settable to an arbitrary string, rather that an
integer. Then folks could set it to be four spaces, or a tab, or two
tabs, or whatever.

Quite frankly, I'm confused as to why anyone would think it's a good
idea to mix tabs and spaces at all, but that's what we're stuck with.
