New submission from Jason R. Coombs:
Consider this simple unit test:
def test_tokenize():
input = "if False:\n\tx=3\n\ty=3\n"
g = list(generate_tokens(io.StringIO(input).readline))
assert untokenize(g) == input
According to the docs, untokenize guarantees the output equals the input to
tokenize: http://docs.python.org/2/library/tokenize.html#tokenize.untokenize
As this test fails on Python 2 and Python 3 (use io.BytesIO on Python 2), I
believe the test illustrates a violation of this guarantee. The second line in
the if block gets its tab replaced by a space.
As the input is valid Python Syntax, this behavior is particularly surprising.
