If you use an editor that deserves its name, you could cofigure
it to insert (up to) 8 spaces instead of a single tab, exactly
like the pov editor can! - And, if you are programming in Python,
you should IMHO use something less than 8-char tabs; as i mentioned,
I usually program Python with tab size 2, that's enough.

But hitting the space bar thousands of times isn't fun... - You
have auto-indenting turned on, haven't you? ;)

(Oh, and just in case somebody would like to argue that source
files use too much disk space if one uses spaces instead of tabs
- that would really be ridiculous... :)

Agreed. - Let's do some rendering now! :)
