Python Indentation In Spacemacs With Hard Tabs Is Off

Let me preface by saying that I am a relatively new emacs/spacemacs convert from vim, so my my knowledge is still pretty basic. I have spacemacs set up with the python layer, with

Solution 1:

Try M-x whitespace-mode and repeat this experiment. What do you see? Did you indent with spaces or with tabs?

I'm guessing you'll see something like this:

def·func():
········
»   print·'line'

This would mean you have python-indent-offset set to 8, indent-tabs-mode set to nil (aka indent with spaces), and tab-width set to 4.

If that's not the case, what are the values of those variables (C-h v python-indent-offset, etc.)?

If that is the case, you can fix the problem by running

(setq-default python-indent-offset4)
