Not any standard (and actually not at all something to do for real), but try it, it works
def magic(a, b, c):
if a > 0:
if b > 0:
if c > 0:
return 'All positive'
return 'Not all positive'print(magic(1,2,3))
print(magic(-1,1,2))
print(magic(1,-1,0))
print(magic(-1,-1,-2))
(you should be able to verify I used both tab and spaces f*cking bad way in this example, like I described)
Output:
All positive
Not all positive
Not all positive
Not all positive
** Process exited - Return Code: 0 **
Press Enter to exit terminal
That’s really interesting. So does that mean the interpreter just checks whether the current line is more indented, less indented, or equal vs. the preceding, without caring by how much?
spaces or tabs
Doesn’t PEP 8 say spaces somewheres?
4 spaces, although I’ll die on the hill that tabs should always be used instead of space for indentation. Not just in python.
Tada, your indentation level is nicely visible.
semicolons
Full colons
4 Spaces, then one tab, then 3 spaces, then 2 tabs, then 2 spaces, then 3 tabs…
Python supports that (and I hate this)
Please elaborate (eg which standard is this defined in?)

“indentation is indentation!” (mr_incredible_cereal.jpg)
it may look messy, but would you actually rather Python didn’t support some inconsistency when the intent is clear?
being exact just for the sake of being pedantic isn’t useful.
