Then don't do that.
I'm only half-kidding. Inserting incorrect tokens into program source
breaks programs in all languages. The tricky bit is that in many
editors spaces and tabs look the same. You can pick an editor that
provides a visual difference, or you can pick an editor that always
does the right thing, or you can stick with it until your fingers
learn to do the right thing.

Those of us who've been using Python for more than a few days think it
is you who are unable to see the advantages. ;)
Whether allowing indentation via either tabs or spaces was a
fundamental design flaw has long been debated. Personally, I think
tabs should be outlawed in all source code...
