That's exactly the problem with tabs - whatever you think your code
looks like with tabs, other people will see quite different picture.
Why do you consider this a problem?
It's a problem if you try to use tabs for lining things
up in a tabular fashion in your source code.
The solution is not to use tabs for that -- only use
tabs for indentation, and use spaces for everything
else. Or, as PEP 8 suggests, don't try to line things
up in the first place.
I know it's ironic that tabs are no good for tabulation.
But it's unavoidable in a plain text format that doesn't
carry any metadata about how to interpret the tabs.
