[Tex/LaTex] Unwanted tabulation in Kile editor after pressing Return

indentationkile

I'm using Kile to edit LaTeX code.

When I press Return to get a new line, Kile does create a new line but automatically adds a tabulation (an indentation) at the beginning of the new line. This happens regardless of whethere there are trailing spaces after the cursor when I press Return.

This is quite annoying (especially when I paste things, it adds additional tabs, and I end up with a pyramid of indents…)

I have tried to change the indentation mode to "None" (and other values e.g. Python) to no avail. Any suggestions on the options I should look at? I tried a lot of them, but I'm not sure which one is the correct one. (Or could it be a bug?)

OK, it's a bit tricky. Go to Settings > Configure Kile; under Editor > Open/Save > Modes & Filetypes, change "Indentation Mode" to None. Then you have to close Kile, and when reopen, in a new file, there will be no auto-indentation.

[Tex/LaTex] Unable to use python.sty package

Below is definition of python environment inspired by python.sty package, but rewritten to work on my Windows system. Basically, it takes content from between \begin{python} and \end{python}, writes it to a file, executes the file as python script and inserts output into the LaTeX document. Full code:

\usepackage{verbatim}

\makeatletter
\newwrite\Code@out

\newcommand\python{\obeylines\expandafter\pythonArg\noexpand}

\newcommand\pythonArg[1][tmp.py.in]{%
    \gdef\FNameIn{#1}
    \gdef\FNameOut{tmp.py.out}

     %Execute python script. Python directory must be in PATH.
     \immediate\write18{python \FNameIn > \FNameOut}
     \input{\FNameOut}
}
