Mark Dickinson added the comment: This is expected behaviour for Python 2.x: Python interprets every TAB character as advancing to the next multiple-of-8 column, regardless of how your editor sees it. It would be too disruptive to change this behaviour in Python 2.x.
It's already fixed in Python 3: there it's a syntax error to mix tabs and spaces in this way. Python 2.7 gives a warning if you run with the '-3' flag. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16571> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
