Not trying to make any more confusion but I find Geany to be a bit confusing about spaces and tabs as you can not see them. While it is great for Python programs because you can run them from within Geany. Gedit is much less confusing to look at especially if you have the Draw Spaces Plugin. With Draw Spaces Plugin you can see tabs and spaces so if your mixing them it is very visible. IMHO mixing tabs and spaces causes problems when viewing in some editors and may cause problems with executing languages like Python. In fact Python 3 disallows mixing of tabs and spaces in indentation of the code.
