sy12 <s...@club-internet.fr> added the comment: The problem appeared in the initial display, with a file similar to bug.py.
Here is how to reproduce it: 1. open the bug.py file with IDLE 2.5 (or with Firefox from the bugs.python.org website): the display shows the file the way the compiler will (probably) see it; 2. open the bug.py file with IDLE 2.6: the line 7 (just after "else:") is displayed differently. Summary: IDLE 2.6 doesn't display the indentation that the compiler will see. ----------------------------------------- About the secondary problem with Untabify (discovered when trying to solve the display problem without having to reinstall Python 2.5): Actually, Untabify is more a solution than a problem, except maybe that the only safe value is 8 spaces for a tabulation. Using a different value on legacy code (old code without tests) might add subtle bugs. According to the Python Language Reference: "First, tabs are replaced (from left to right) by one to eight spaces such that the total number of characters up to and including the replacement is a multiple of eight (this is intended to be the same rule as used by Unix)." ----------------------------------------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5129> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
