I've recently started using Emacs and an issue I've been facing is that the editor automatically converts all the tabs to spaces. It has started to get a bit annoying now.
Here's my .emacs file for reference:
(require 'package)
(let* ((no-ssl (and (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos))
(not (gnutls-available-p))))
(proto (if no-ssl "http" "https")))
(when no-ssl
(warn "\
Your version of Emacs does not support SSL connections,
which is unsafe because it allows man-in-the-middle attacks.
There are two things you can do about this warning:
1. Install an Emacs version that does support SSL and be safe.
2. Remove this warning from your init file so you won't see it again."))

Any suggestions on how to stop emacs from doing this behaviour?
As suggested by Drew, I am posting this as answer:
Did you check variable indent-tabs-mode?
With this you should be able to switch between emacs using spaces or tabs.
As described in the emacs wiki here I would assume, some active mode is setting this to nil in your emacs.
You can find another explanation with links to discussions about if tabs are evil or not here
EDIT:
It seems that strangely the python-mode sets indent-tabs-mode to t.
Maybe this Emacs Wiki entry solves your problem. This snippet from the wiki:
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode t)
(setq-default tab-width 4)
(setq-default py-indent-tabs-mode t)
(add-to-list 'write-file-functions 'delete-trailing-whitespace)))
looks like it will do the trick.
Hope this helps.
I've recently made a few changes in my init emacs file, and I've noticed with --debug-init that some load files seem to be missing. Here is the output from the debugger
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "/home/andre/a-m")
load("/home/andre/a-m" nil nil t)
load-file("a-m")
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 269

load("default" t t)

I've searched for what the a-m file stands for online, and how to correct these errors but without success. Thanks for any help!

Edit: Here is the init file. I've just changed some info on jabber (email) but other than that the file is unchanged

Thanks for your help. I didn't read the new ansys-mode https://github.com/dieter-wilhelm/ansys-mode documentation properly. Here is the issue:
Please have a look at the accompanying default.el’ customisation example. It can be used as a configuration file (after moving it e. g. to/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp’ or c:\EMACS_INSTALLDIR\site-lisp’, hint: The directory site-lisp/ in the Emacs installation tree is in its default load-path). Yetdefault.el’ is loaded AFTER your personal Emacs configuration file (if there is any) ~/.emacs’ (or~/.emacs.d/init.el’)! If you intend to change the following settings with Emacs’ customisation system or changing them directly in your personal configuration file, you must either set the variable inhibit-default-init’ tot’ “(setq inhibit-default-init t)” in your personal configuration file or remove `default.el’ otherwise your settings might be overwritten!
So I just added (setq inhibit-default-init t) to the init file.
Thanks again!
Note that with Git 2.18 (Q2 2018), the scripts in contrib/emacs/ have outlived their usefulness and have been replaced with a stub that errors out and tells the user there are replacements.
So the init error message might not apply anymore in 2018.
See commit 6d5ed48 (11 Apr 2018) by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (avar).

git{,-blame}.el: remove old bitrotting Emacs code
The git-blame.el mode has been superseded by Emacs's own
vc-annotate
(invoked by C-x v g).
Users of the git.el mode are now much better off using either Magit or the Git backend for Emacs's own VC mode.
These modes were added over 10 years ago when Emacs's own Git support
was much less mature, and there weren't other mature modes in the wild
or shipped with Emacs itself.
These days these modes have few if any users, and users of git aren't
well served by us shipping these (some OS's install them alongside git
by default, which is confusing and leads users astray).
[...] rather than receive a cryptic load error when they upgrade,
existing users will get an error directing them to the README file, or
to just stop requiring these modes
See "git/contrib/emacs/README" for more.
My emacs takes a few seconds to start up every time, which is slower than I'd expect. During that time, it says "contacting host: " marmalade-repo and melpa.
Is my current config a reasonable one? Is there a way I can speed it up, while still being able to install packages when I need them?

Recently, loading packages from MELPA has been really slow, I'm not so sure why. What you can do to get around this (or at least make sure it only happens once) is to run Emacs in daemon mode, and then connect to it whenever you want to edit a file. It means that the cost of loading is only incurred once. It's as simple as running emacs --daemon at startup. Then you connect via emacsclient.
When I try to export a org-mode file to odf I end up with a corrupt output file. I narrowed the problem down to that the odt-file (which in fact is a zip file) contained a file named content_flymake.xml. If I remove that file, I can open the it without a problem.
Now I'm stucked. I don't know what to do next.

One possibility is to disable the flymake-find-file-hook while running org-export-as-odt. The following lines may work:
(defadvice org-export-as-odt (around remove-flymake-hook first act)
(let ((find-file-hook find-file-hook))
(remove-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook)
ad-do-it))
You can also try to customize flymake-allowed-file-name-masks and remove the .xml binding there. But this means that no xml file would run under flymake by default anymore.
I'm setting up emacs for Ruby on Rails development, and would like the ECB window to show only the directory for the project I'm working on. Is that possible?
Let's assume that I start emacs after I cd to the project's directory. I've added the following to my .emacs:
(defvar start-dir (getenv "PWD"))
(custom-set-variables
'(ecb-layout-name "left14")
'(ecb-layout-window-sizes (quote (("left14" (0.2564102564102564 . 0.6949152542372882) (0.2564102564102564 . 0.23728813559322035)))))
'(ecb-options-version "2.32")
'(ecb-primary-secondary-mouse-buttons (quote mouse-1--C-mouse-1))
'(ecb-source-path (list start-dir))
'(ecb-tip-of-the-day nil)
'(ecb-tree-buffer-style (quote ascii-guides))
'(inhibit-startup-screen t))
Notice I've created a list containing only the start-dir. However ECB shows both the start-dir and the root (/) dir.
I figured out a solution to only show the directory from which I run emacs in the ECB window:
(defvar start-dir (getenv "PWD"))
(defvar start-dir-name (car (last (split-string start-dir "/"))))
(custom-set-variables
'(ecb-layout-name "left14")
'(ecb-layout-window-sizes (quote (("left14" (0.2564102564102564 . 0.6949152542372882) (0.2564102564102564 . 0.23728813559322035)))))
'(ecb-options-version "2.32")
'(ecb-primary-secondary-mouse-buttons (quote mouse-1--C-mouse-1))
'(ecb-source-path (list (list start-dir start-dir-name)))
'(ecb-tip-of-the-day nil)
'(ecb-tree-buffer-style (quote ascii-guides))
'(inhibit-startup-screen t))
Try (setq ecb-source-path (quote "/path/to/project/")). Your present setup makes ecb-source-path nil, which you can see if you do describe-variable.
