It seems like the overall Python syntax would be error prone

[CynthiaMoore]

The interpreter requires only that the spacing is consistent. But for readability by others, there are standards that should be followed unless there is a good reason to deviate. 4 spaces per level is suggested. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation

I used a code editor some time ago that had an indentation default of 4 spaces and tab settings to make that easy. I found that my code was getting indented so much that a lot of lines wouldn't fit on one line. I ended up changing it to 2 spaces.

Is there any problem if I use 2 rather than 4 for my code?
