Swap the word 'tabs' for the word 'spaces' and you get... My experience of programming with either tabs or spaces has taught me that spaces are evil not for themselves, but simply because no matter how hard you try they always end up being mixed with tabs. Which is just as vaild as the un-swapped paragraph. Both versions express a bias. The first is biased in favor of spaces. The second is biased in favor of tabs. Neither have any useful content. Mixing is bad but that fact doesn't favor spaces OR tabs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
