Your preference for tab width for proper code viewing pleasure is...?

For the Pythonistas, Guido's Guide is at:

"Use 4 spaces per indentation level." |

| 8 takes up too much screen real-estate, 2 is too small to see and all values that are not powers of 2 are out - so 4 ;-) |

Since a 1 represents yes, a 0 represents no, and a 0.5 represents maybe... powers of 3?

| I had to vote 8 since that's what I use 99% of the time. If I'm dealing with some heavily-indented code (sometimes due to my own coding laziness), I'll re-define the tab to 4 spaces temporarily. I like 4-space indentation visually, but not enough to change my habits. :) |

I have my tabstops forced to 80 along with having visual spaces/tabs turned on. (So I can easily see when someone tries to sneak tabs into my code :P)
(Drupal coding standards say "use two spaces, no tabs.") |

| I loooove three-space tabs, but will settle for four. Two bugs me. Anything above four is really stupid to me, even when I'm on a 24" iMac :P |
