Roger Serwy added the comment: Todd,
Tabify/Untabify are functions to deal with the great tabs vs. spaces debate (though PEP8 says that spaces are the way to go). The tabify function needs a minimum of 2 spaces before it replaces it with a tab. Its implementation in Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py under the tabify_region_event and untabify_region_event reveals a curiousity in its implementation. Tabify will replace spans of space characters with tabs, but still leave in extra space characters if needed. Untabify simply expands all tabs to a fixed number of spaces. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16887> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
