Huge personal problem with python... is the forced indentation for me.

Being a consultant I spend a lot of time on a lot of different computers, with different OS's and text editors. One day I might open a file in emacs, the next in Visual Studio or notepad.

The biggest problem with this the formatting of lines in a more advanced editor (VS) tabs can be insertted automatically or (EMACS) be replaced with spaces. Although this would usually be a minor cosmetic issue, when it comes a compiler issue, making a quick change, then submitting to source control can become a larger hassle than it should be.
