[Python/IDLE newbie here] I created a .py file in UltraEdit and saved it. I use (and always will, despite the FAQ's recommendation against it) tabs instead of spaces, set to 4 spaces per tab.
When I open the file in IDLE, suddenly the tabs are 8 spaces wide. This is despite the fact that I've gone to Options menu > Configure IDLE... > Fonts/Tabs and set it thusly: Tab key inserts tabs indent width 4 Is this a bug, or am I missing something? I'll now go google to see who to blame for the original 8-space tab. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
