Это было изящное упражнение в разочаровании. По некоторым причинам мои буферы python -mode / elpy всегда имеют intent-tabs-mode nil. Я использую python -режим 6.2.3, elpy 1.32.0 и emacs 25.2.2. Мой файл .emacs содержит:
;; =============================================================================
;; Trying to get indentation to be tabs of width 4 spaces in Python is a real
;; pain. For some unknown reason, unlike EVERY other progmode file in the distro
;; python.el contains this gem:
;;
;; 5480: (set (make-local-variable 'tab-width) 8)
;;
;; which clobbers any defaults you might have, no questoins asked. It also has
;; this wonderful nugget:
;;
;; 5481: (set (make-local-variable 'indent-tabs-mode) nil)
;;
;; Because someone wants to force using spaces (so wby bother forcing
;; tab-width?)
;; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; Do this first. Because of the above, if you don't python.el will clobber
;; your attempts to customize this stuff.
(load "python-mode")
;; Now follow the instructions sprinked all over the Interwebs by the thousands
;; of people frustrated by the above clobbering.
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
;; Don't forget lambda(), God forbid
(lambda ()
;; Now set the tab-width you really want here and cross your fingers
(setq tab-width 4)
;; And tell python-mode to use tabs. I know lots of folks hate on
;; tabs, but whatever.
(setq indent-tabs-mode t)
;; If you want to make sure you don't have trailing whitespaces
;; at the end of line, uncomment this.
;;(add-to-list 'write-file-functions 'delete-trailing-whitespace)
)
)
Но indent-tabs-mode остается nil. Только в режиме python, конечно. Из describe-variable из буфера python -mode / elpy:
indent-tabs-mode is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.
Its value is nil
Original value was t
Local in buffer config; global value is t
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
satisfies the predicate ‘booleanp’.
Documentation:
Indentation can insert tabs if this is non-nil.
You can customize this variable.

Я установил каждую версию любого определения, которое смог найти в любом файле * .el indent-tabs-mode, на t и ничего не работает.
