“inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation”

Question

I\'m trying to create an application in Python 3.2 and I use tabs all the time for indentation, but even the editor changes some of them into spaces and then print out \"inc

Answer 1

Your problem is due to your editor limitations/configuration. Some editors provide you of tools to help with the problem by:

1. Converting tabs into spaces

   For example, if you are using Stani's Python editor you can configure it to do it on saving.

2. Converting spaces into tabs

If you are using ActiveState Komodo you have a tool to 'tabify' your code. As others already pointed, this is not a good idea.

Eclipse's Pydev provides functions "Convert tabs to space-tabs" and "Convert space-tabs to tabs".
