You talk of not wanting tab options imposed on you, but consider that treating tabs as 8-character stops imposes that setting on anybody who needs to work with your mixed-indentation code. > And now python forces me out of using any tab characters at all. I believe I should still have a choice, python should at lest give an option to set tab size, if the default of 8 is ambiguous now. And then changing that setting could change the meaning of the code, which would be a disaster for code that you want to distribute.
