The attached example mixes tabs and spaces but python does not report any warning when used with -t. Line 4 contains 1 tab. Lines after line 4 contains spaces. Tested using : Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 17:19:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 C:\>python -t test_tt.py C:\> |

In discussion with GvR, we've decided we're not interested in intentionally rejecting code that is valid for tab width values between 1 and 8 inclusive. Thanks for the bug report! |

The -t feature is not technically about rejecting all code that mixes tabs and spaces. It is only about detecting code that mixes tabs and spaces IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE TAB SIZE AFFECTS THE VALIDITY OR MEANING OF THE CODE. The sample program is only invalid if the tab size is >= 12 (or zero). I don't think we should care about people who set their tab size > 8 -- realistically what people do is set it to values <= 8 (but >= 1), and their mistakes will be adequately caught. |
