As sebas discribed in a blogpost [1], editorconfig is a way for
communicating the code styles in different editors and IDEs.
the list of supported editors is already quite long, so let's make it
easy for new people to have the correct coding style. Especially for
python it makes sense not to mess up with a mixure of tabs and spaces.
