Re: indenting python docstring in vim

I do use standard 4 space indent. Perhaps copy and paste failed on google group.

That said, I found that I also have no problem with indent in Arch, which has the same python.vim under ${VIMRUNTIME}/indent/

I have no additional vim setting. My .vimrc is fairly minimal, but I do have this line for python:

au FileType python setlocal ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sta et fdm=indent

Don't know what's the difference between Arch and Ubuntu
