Sorry here I forgot to mention that citation above is from Ben
Finney's mail and not from Nathan's!
Anyway. I just made a simple and primitive analyze:
re.findall('^ '...) and re.findall('^\t'...) for more than 100k
py-files discoverable by find / -name "*.py" on my (ubuntu 16.04)
computer.
Anybody could see that it incorrectly finds lines in multiline strings
(and has maybe much more flaws) but it could be probably still
interesting.
there are:
127 837 files where at least one line starts with space
2 273 files where at least one line starts with tab
1 192 files where are lines which starts with space and lines which
starts with tab
and there are:
35 144 893 lines which starts with space
428 160 lines which starts with tab
