Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Questions about how to use python (or Idle) are better directed to python-list or similar forums. In this case, you are asking how to edit a file with tabs in Idle, which converts tabs to spaces on entry. Idle editor windows have a Format menu with Tabify and Untabify options, both of which allow you to select the conversion between tabs and spaces. I personally would untabify the file first and edit. You could re-tabify at the end if needed. Or just edit (with spaces) and tabify the new stuff at the end.
