Description Alexander Soloviëv 2014-10-06 21:06:11 UTC

Within vim-patches-7.4.273.patch have arrived stupid patch for ftplugin/python.vim that unconditionally enforces the following tab settings for all python sources:

+" As suggested by PEP8.
+setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=8

Any global enforcments inspired by some code formatting recommendations must not be used unconditionally in global configs.

Reproducible: Always

Take this up with upstream, this isn't a change made by Gentoo. Also, I'd rather avoid adding to the patch set we already apply against vim's runtime files as much as possible.

In the meantime, you can always add the settings into ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim that you want to override the upstream ones.
