First of all I can be as consistent as possible, I can't just take code from someone else and insert it because that other person may be consistenly doing it different from me. Then if you are working on different machines, the settings of your editor may not always be the same so that you have tabs on one machine and spaces on an other, which causes problem when you move the code. Also when you have an xterm, selecting a tab and pasting it into another it will turn the tab into spaces. All these things usually can be ignored, they typically only show up when you print something and things aren't aligned as you expect but with python you are forced to correct those things immediatly, forcing you to focus on white space layout issues instead of on the logic of the code. > Also, the parser > should tell you if you mix tabs and spaces, so that won't trip > anything either. Maybe you mean something differen than I understand but a program throwing a syntax error because there is a tab instead of a number of spaces or vice versa, is something I would understand as tripping. -- Antoon Pardon
