Kate - Writing Python programs PEP-8


I don't program enough to use VI or Emacs, so I've always just used Kate.

I recently started learning python, and I am trying to follow the style guide outlined in PEP-8, which states:
Use 4 spaces per indentation level

The default setting in Kate for Python code is 2 spaces per indentation level. I changed this very easily in the settings to align with PEP-8, but does anyone know why Kate doesn't follow PEP-8?

Surely the default setting in Kate should align with the recommended default indentation for Python?
