    Figure out if they prefer spaces or tabs, insist on the other.

    Please note this won’t work on Pythonistas as they’ve already had their spirit thoroughly broken.

      What if you use tabs for indentations and space for alignment?

          Uh, that would be infuriating to see. (Yes, I can see tabs in KDE Kate)

      Tabs or four spaces

      Never a semicolon
