You can get some ideas from tabnanny.py or reindent.py, but perhaps they
are too specific at parsing Python code.
I hope this informal description may help:
Start with IC = Previous IC = 0, and a stack with a single 0 element
For each line in the file:
compute the indentation column IC (that is, count the number of leading
whitespace characters; perhaps replacing tabs as 8 spaces)
compare IC with the Previous IC:
same: continue with next line
IC > previous ("indent"): push IC onto indent stack
IC < previous ("dedent"):
discard top of stack
look at the new top of stack (but dont discard it); if not the
same,
indentation error.
Previous IC = IC
Note: You can rewrite the above without using Previous IC, only the
stack... left to the reader :)
Note 2: At each stage, the "indentation level" is the current stack size.
