Certainly in Python 2.7 that's not the case: the tab expands to the next multiple of 8 spaces. >>> if 1: ... print "yes" # space + tab ... print "no" # eight spaces ... yes no If tab expanded to exactly 8 spaces the leading space would have forced an indentation error, but it didn't. -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
