The point is that your tab stops are at every 8th column even if some other tab stops were used in your editor. Unless you configured your terminal (emulator) with the same tab stops as your editor. Then, you'll need to configure your printer, browser and other visual tools that have the every-8th-column-tab-stop default. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
