You are trying to use tools that enforce a set of rules, one of which
is “use 4 spaces per indentation level”.  If you don’t agree with this
rule, simply don’t use tools that enforce these rules.  It’s that
easy.

But note, that E111 is “indentation is not a multiple of four”.  Which
you are never going to listen to anyways if you want 2 spaces per
indentation level.  If you *really* want to do 2 spaces (and look
weird), then just ignore that.
