I am a huge fan of Python and so indenting is vital; a missed indent
and your program will not run at all! I indent manually, which is a
bit of a pain, but Edsharp offers Python programmers a feature to
convert; you use braces in your python code like you might in any
other language, then you hit the pydent command and you get a properly
indented file with no braces. However, I found that managing the pyb
(pybrace file, containing the python with braces) and py (the python
file without braces) was rather annoying as I was always getting "are
you sure you want to replace this file" messages and saving was a big
hastle. If the pydent file management could be cleaned up, and the
indentation customized, it would be an excellent feature, but as it
stands I use spaces (so jaws does not announce "blank", as it will for
tabs) and do it all manually.
