I just tried to reproduce this using IDLE 3.4 on Windows and was not able to. > I'm also just "gushing with exuberance" when i open a new > block and i get *EIGHT SPACE INDENTION*! In the file editor when I press Tab I get four spaces as I would expect, using the default configuration. In the interactive interpreter I get an actual tab character again as I would expect. That's probably as it should be since I wouldn't want to not be able to type a tab character there. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
