Colorcode the indents level / visual indication in Spyder

Question

I am using Spyder for some Numpy work currently and python's indentation mechaninc is confusing me a little. It would be really helpful if I could have some color coding for each indentation level or some dotted lines (like in notepad++). Is there a way to turn such a feature on, or any plugins I can use?

Answer 1

(Spyder developer here) This functionality is available since Spyder 2.3.3 and you can activate it under the menu entry

Source > Show blank spaces

Answer 2

This Spyder looks wery nice IDE, but I'd prefer real gray dashed indent lines.

I saw these were already done for a dev version, are there some issues why not to add this feature also to the offical version?
