Hello,

Regarding tabs...

quoting http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

Tabs or Spaces?

   Never mix tabs and spaces.

   The most popular way of indenting Python is with spaces only.  The
   second-most popular way is with tabs only.  Code indented with a mixture
   of tabs and spaces should be converted to using spaces exclusively.  When
   invoking the Python command line interpreter with the -t option, it issues
   warnings about code that illegally mixes tabs and spaces.  When using -tt
   these warnings become errors.  These options are highly recommended!

   For new projects, spaces-only are strongly recommended over tabs.  Most
   editors have features that make this easy to do.

Your solution of using spaces instead of tabs to indent worked
perfectly!
The python interpreter will treat a single tab character the same as 8
space characters, so if you indent using 4 spaces then a tab is the same
as two indents.
