I indent C code a tab (converting it to spaces when releasing) and
Python code 4 spaces. I don't know why. I'm used to it.

I've also seen:

if a:
   code is here
   while b:
         code is here
   try:
      code is here
   except x:
          code is here

   for c in d:
       code is here
else:
    code is here

funny, er?

Gerrit.
