How to set Python language specific tab spacing in Visual Studio Code?

python configuration visual-studio-code code-formatting vscode-settings

I had the same problem today.
This is how I fixed it. Add this lines in setting.json in VSCode:

"[python]": {  "editor.insertSpaces": true,  "editor.tabSize": 4  }

It works like a charm.

Python should be tab=4 spaces (replaced as spaces), and Ruby should be tab=2 spaces...

Install the editor config plugin.

ext install EditorConfig

Add an .editorconfig file to your project root with Python and Ruby specific settings:

[*.py]indent_style = spaceindent_size = 4[*.rb]indent_style = spaceindent_size = 2

These are other supported properties:

tab_widthend_of_lineinsert_final_newlinetrim_trailing_whitespace
