Change indentation level in Google Colab
Question:
I am using Google Colab to write Python code in their notebooks. Whenever I hit enter after a loop or conditional, the new line is automatically indented, which is good, but it uses only 2 whitespaces by default. This is contrary to the PEP-8 standard which recommends 4 whitespaces.
Why is this the case and how can I change this setting within Colab?
Answers:
You can change it to 4 whitespaces through settings:
Tools > Settings > Editor > Indentation width in spaces > Select 4
