Why Python style guide (PEP-8) says 4 space indents instead of 8 space??? 8 space indents ever ok??

In non-Python-aware editors (like Usenet messages), I prefer 2-space
indentation as well. While programming larger projects, I use a
Python-aware editor, and that editor makes indentation automatically
(to four spaces), so it is just as easy to type.
