Nope, unless it was a local convention in your place of work.

But the standard for indentation has always(*) been 3 or 4 and fro PEP 8 
its 4. And thats pretty standard in any language because its the size of 
indent that gives best clarity to the code. (Based on tests of students 
reading code samples.)

(*) "Always" since the mid 1980s at least. Certainly
before the advent of Python.
