The fact of Python enforcing it (or all tabs; a poor second choice)

If he was trolling, he certainly deserves a prize.
I don't think he was trolling. It was a classic-model rant: "I upgraded
my dependency to a newer version and all my stuff broke".
Commonly provokes anger, largely because many such upgrades do NOT break
stuff (eg if I were to switch from gcc 4.5 to gcc 4.7 right now,
I doubt anything would break, and my code would be able to use the new
iterator syntax in c++11 - pity 4.7 isn't packaged for Debian Squeeze).
The OP upgraded across an openly-non-backward-compatible boundary, and
got angry over one particular aspect of backward compat that wasn't
there.
But wouldn't it have been easier simply to do do a quick sed or whatever
rather than to spend hours here arguing?
Where's the fun in that? :)
