In the windows python console, how to make Tab = four spaces?

Question

Hello I would like that when I am in the python console tabbing will give me four spaces. Any ideas?

Answer 1

1. Download and install AutoHotkey

2. Write this script:

   SetTitleMatchMode 2
   #IfWinActive python
   tab::
   Send, {SPACE}
   Send, {SPACE}
   Send, {SPACE}
   Send, {SPACE}
   

Save it as tab-to-space.ahk, and doubleclick on the file.

Note: you might have to captalize "Python" to match your window tite. Or you can have "yhton" and it will match Jython too.
