Pycharm sometimes does not indent the proper amount

I have tabs and indents|indent set to 2:

enter image description here

However the actual indentation is coming up as 3 - specifically inside the groupby function - which I have unindented and re-indented several times to be sure the behavior were consistent[-ly incorrect]:

enter image description here

Note that I have also tried the Auto-indent (Option-Command-I) - it also indents stuff to 3 spaces instead of 2. Bit strange..

Any thoughts?

This is most annoying problem in pycharm. Here is simple answer to this :

Just follow the path :

GO to Edit->Convert Indents->To Spaces

This will actually insert space instead of tabular character in empty space when you default enter for next line.

The first thing you might want to check is to make sure you don't have Detect and use existing file indents for editing enabled in Settings/Preferences | Editor | Code Style. If you do, when you auto-indent, it might apply the wrong settings.

You can try to fix incorrectly formatted code by using Option+Command+L (Mac) / Control+Alt+L (PC), which is the Reformat Code option. That should fix the code and then auto-indent should work correctly.
