Via uses 8 spaces in a tab (at least for me), while geany uses 4.

You know that editors let you change their defaults, right?

and that indentation defaults in decent editors are usually language dependent. I'm not familiar with these editors, but... come on - if they use one default for all files, OP should use a better tool.

Yes, but I don't normally program in python, so I never did. When I had to, I never thought of changing it (it wasn't for long anyways and was less of a thought out decision to do programming in vim)
