It should be my choice if I want to use tabs or not ! It is. As long as you're consistent, you can use tabs or spaces without problems. You're also most welcome to continue using Python 3.2, or 2.1, or 0.1 (if you're Steven D'Aprano), which might have the semantics you want. And hey, if you dig into the source, I'm sure you could find how to make it configurable. ChrisA
