I stumbled upon this by chance. Is the following behaviour by design?
>>> s = 'a\tb'
>>> s.expandtabs(1) == s.expandtabs(2)
True
In fact:
>>> s.expandtabs(1)
'a b' # 1 space
>>> s.expandtabs(2)
'a b' # 1 space
>>> s.expandtabs(3)
'a b' # 2 spaces
>>> s.expandtabs(4)
'a b' # 3 spaces
It seems to be an off-by-one difference from 2 onwards.
Tested with python versions 2.7.4, 3.2.4 and 3.3.1 on a Linux x86_64 machine. |
