Nope, you've just made it awful, white-space with syntactic meaning is just god-awful. It's the worse thing about Python, there's a reason it's not a more popular language feature.
- breck 9y agoI actually agree. Unless done perfectly, whitespace with syntactic meaning languages are quite annoying. If I had a nickel for every time I had a tab vs space bug in Python when I was first starting to code.
- kirbyfan64sos 9y agoWell, now Python 3 doesn't allow tabs anyway. ;)
- breck 9y agoI got it excited when I read your comment, but turns out it still allows tabs, just not mixing. :(
