That's not a Python issue, that's a feature of your terminal. That's how tabs are supposed to work. By default, most terminals set tab stops every 8 columns. Printing a tab character jumps to the next tab stop. If you are using Linux or Mac, you can use the `tabs` command in the terminal to control where the tab stops are. This is not a Python command, it is part of your OS shell. https://askubuntu.com/questions/63424/how-to-change-tab-width-in-terminal-in-ubuntu-10-04 https://superuser.com/questions/110421/tab-character-width-in-terminal I don't know about the Windows Terminal. It is possible it doesn't support changing the tab stops. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44736> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
