It was agreed for 2.0b1 that all std libraries modules would use 4-space indents and no hard tabs. This didn't happen, due to a misunderstanding. Repair that after 2.0final is released (would be sooner, except about 250 files are affected, and that much fiddling carries some risk).

Moved to PEP-42.

Forgot to close it.

[gvanrossum]

This was done for 2.1!

[tim-one]

Actually, only part of it was done. The platform-specific libraries were left untouched (see Python-Dev email).
