Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: The -t feature is not technically about rejecting all code that mixes tabs and spaces. It is only about detecting code that mixes tabs and spaces IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE TAB SIZE AFFECTS THE VALIDITY OR MEANING OF THE CODE.
The sample program is only invalid if the tab size is >= 12 (or zero). I don't think we should care about people who set their tab size > 8 -- realistically what people do is set it to values <= 8 (but >= 1), and their mistakes will be adequately caught. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11319> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
