python mode indentation problem

[Xah Lee]

does anyone know why the Python mode in emacs uses spaces for first
level indentation but one tab for second level?

i'm using emacs 21.3.50.1.

It doesn't. It uses spaces for everything, unless told otherwise.

You probably have tab-width set to 8 spaces, but indentation in python
set to 4 spaces.

Pure egotism. Not to mention bad language.

OK, I read it, but have no idea what point you're trying to make here.
If, for example, you want to re-release it under a license saying you
take financial responsibility for any behavior a user dislikes, be my
guest.

I hope you never need a favor or interview for a job with someone who
reads news groups. You're committing eSuicide by posting insulting rants
such as this. All you accomplish is to isolate yourself.

Try to be friendly. Ideas are only half the battle... presentation is
the other half. You have some good and valid ideas, but your
presentation is offensive and condescending. Your ideas are like golden
coins wrapped in horse shit. Personally, I've had enough of your horse
shit... perhaps I speak for others as well.
