Summary: Tab / Space Configuration Does Not Work in IDLE
Initial Comment:
On Python 2.3/IDLE 1.0, when I go from the editor to:
Options->Configure Idle->Font/Tabs
And set it to "Tab key inserts tabs" what actually
happens is that the tab key inserts spaces (4 spaces).

I got the error. I am using Python 2.3.4.
Hitting TAB in the editor advances the cursor by "4" spaces
irrespective of the "indent width" in Configure idle...->
Fonts/Tab -> choose indentation size:
I did a quick and dirty fix.
I had to modify the Line# 915 in file <py install
path>Python23/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py
Requires restart of IDLE for the change to take effect.
[Before]
indentwidth = 3
[After]
indentwidth =
idleConf.GetOption('main','Indent','num-spaces',
default=4,type='int')

I can reproduce this on XP and Linux.
Of course, everyone should use 4 spaces :)

Mmm.. I re-installed the Windows Python-2.3 installer EXE on
a fresh PC and I have the problem, even when I hit "Apply"
and "OK".
It is not a big deal of course, but would be nice if it worked..

I cannot reproduce the problem.
This may be a silly question, but did you click Apply after
changing the setting?
