In TextMate, View -> Show Invisibles. Then, at the bottom of your document window, ensure "soft tabs" is checked, and use 4 spaces. In your document, replace any tabs with 4 spaces. Whitespace is significant in Python. Mixing tabs and spaces is a cardinal sin. I think TextMate is a fine editor for Python; you've just gotten unlucky with your cut-and-paste. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
