TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
[n...@nickl ~]$ ls -l /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pygtk.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 2008-06-19 11:44
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pygtk.py ->
/usr/share/python-support/python-gobject/pygtk.py
Error arises because Python has significant leading whitespace but this
file pygtk.py is not consistent in its use of tabs versus spaces.
Patch is attached which fixes this problem.
