PEP8 isn't a language requirement, but a style guide. There are tools to enforce style on Python, but the language itself does not.

Same thing with Go... Tabs aren't enforced, but the out of the box formatter will use tabs. PyCharm will default to trying to follow PEP8, and GoLand will do the same, it will try to follow the gofmt standards.

You can use tabs to indent your python code. Ok, you might be lynched if you share your code but as long as you don't mix tabs and spaces, it is fine.

Same with Go, you can use spaces.
