I think it's great that at least we're all agreed that mixed indentation is a bad idea in any code, and particularly in Python. How would people feel about having the -t (or even -tt) behaviour become the default in future Python releases? A legacy option would obviously need to be provided for the old default behaviour. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
