I don't see a problem with Untabify. IDLE cannot know how big you intended your tabs to be, so it presents a dialog asking you. That seems reasonable to me. In most cases, the default is pretty good -- it attempts to infer the tab width by finding the first manual indentation using spaces: 'if:\n pass\nif:\n\tpass\n' --> guesses a two space indent What differences are you seeing between 2.5 and 2.6? Is it the initial display is different, is the untabify default different, or what?
