Q: Set python indent to 2 spaces in emacs 24?

Question

I did what it said in this very helpful thread on how to it in Emacs 23, but it wouldn't work. The indent level keeps on being 4 (the default).

I am on a Mac (MacOS 10.8) using Emacs 24.3.

Answer 1

And the solution turned out to be rather simple. Just include this in your .emacs file

(custom-set-variables
 '(python-guess-indent nil)
 '(python-indent-offset 2))

So, that is python-indent-offset rather than python-indent.
