Currently, we have following PEP:
PEP 8: E114 indentation is not a multiple of 4 (comment)
However, I wonder how many people are using 2 spaces as their code indentation in projects? Should it be nesserary for us to change this PEP from “multiple of 4” to “multiple of 2”?
Read PEP 8 itself before making a decision.
1) It is NOT rules for all Python code, only the standard library.
2) https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#a-foolish-consistency-is-the-hobgoblin-of-little-minds
It is not necessary to change the PEP; it is necessary to fix tools
that claim more authority than they actually have.
Speaking as a 2-space indenter myself (in my personal code):
The tool in question is likely `pycodestyle`, whose _default_ linting
measures PEP8 criteria among other things.
I run a few different linters (via a script named "lint") and turn off
quite a few of the `pycodestyle` checks, `E114` included.
`pycodestyle` doesn't clean any special "authority", and exlicitly
offers ways to turn off whichever checks you find unsuitable to your
code.
