But tab and spaces are not tokens. They are token seperators. You can
add as many tabs and spaces at the end of a line or between an
identifier and an operator and it won't make any difference.I can even
write the following.
a = (
b + c )
where I can freely choose to use any number of tabs and spaces at the
start of the second line and python will not complain. So comparing
mixing tabs and spaces with inserting an incorrect token in other
languages doesn't make much sense to me.

I started using python when it was still 1.5.2, so I think I am using
it for more than a few days too.
