This is a common pitfall encountered by the brand-newbie. Use a good editor which does a good job of "untabifying" your code.
I use emacs+python-mode. I use tabs for writing my code since it is easy to indent code using tabs in emacs. I have defined a macro which converts tabs to spaces when saving the file. Make sure you use some good editor which allows you complete control over your tabs and spaces. Refer to previous discussions on Python editors in this list if you want some guidance. --Anand On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 8:01 PM, Banibrata Dutta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As Rohan mentions... > > "Be careful: do not mix tabs and spaces in a code block;" > > It is one of the first pitfalls a Python newbie comes-accross, if you > do not use a good Python source editor / IDE. > > There are some file editors that do automatic indentation by "tab" > insertion while writing code, but when you go back to edit that line, > it seems to insert spaces. > > > > On 4/30/08, Rohan Sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm not sure what the problem is.
