The patch at
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5653 renders docstrings and source code from the Sage library in the notebook using Sphinx. Tab characters can confuse Sphinx (see comment 11), so apart from other reasons, it would be useful to keep stray tabs out of the .py and .pyx files in the Sage library. An earlier ticket http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5848 took care of this, but it seems that new tabs have appeared: tcsh> cd $SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage tcsh> grep "`echo '\t'`" `find -name \*.pyx -o -name \*.py` [...] Of course, we can untabify the files periodically. Is there a better way? I think we can use Mercurial's hooks http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/handling-repository-events-with-hooks.html to check for and complain about tabs before a commit, but I'm not an expert. How about hooks for other tasks, e.g., for finding * Unused imports. * ReST mistakes. * Missing doctests. ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
