I've always been taught that in Python using tabs, particularly in the way that you use them (which, by the way, is the default way vim uses them when in C++ mode) is fraught with difficulty. So years ago I dropped in c couple of lines in my vimrc file to use spaces instead of tabs and use the PEP standard of 4 spaces. Have never had any problem. As for your problems, perhaps instead of coming on the list with a poorly-thought-out subject line, and desire to simply argue, perhaps you could run your code through a reformatter that would translate your tabs into spaces using the tab stop that you desired. Open the file in vim, enter the following commands: set sw=4 set ts=8 set et set softtabstop=4 set ai :retab Then save the file. Now it's pep-formatted with spaces and no tabs. Problem solved. Yes it doesn't address your concerns, but it is the recommended solution for Python given the difficulties in mixing tabs and spaces and different people's definition of tabs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Let's see now... looking at a typical piece of code in my code base, I make it that the average line of code is indented about 1.75 levels. (I use a lot of top-level functions, and few classes). With an average line length of 50 characters, plus indentation, we can reduce the size of a typical Python module by ninety-seven percent!

Debating that is I believe another topic, and compatibility with python2 should be enough to make that debate unnecessary. Compatibility with Python 2 is not a requirement. Python 3 exists to fix a bunch of design flaws and mistakes in Python 2. Among the changes: - print and exec are now functions, not statements - the dangerous input function is gone - raw_input is renamed input - the distinction between int and long is gone - the second-string classic classes are gone - strings are Unicode, not bytes - division is done correctly - the error-prone syntax of the except statement is fixed - inconsistently named modules are fixed - the plethora of similar dict methods is cleaned up - map, filter, zip operate lazily rather than eagerly and of course - mixed spaces and tabs for indentation is gone You are right, to change the tab size means to change the meaning of the code, and that would be wrong. Can't argue with that. I can argue with that. Changing tab size does *not* change the meaning of code, provided you *only* use tabs for indentation. Using only tabs for indentation is fine. Whether you set your editor to display tabs as 2 columns, 4 columns, 8 columns, or a thousand columns will make not a whit of difference to the meaning of the code or the number of indent levels. This is the Killer Feature of tabs, and it is the primary reason why tabs rule and spaces suck for indentation. (Alas, too many broken tools that can't handle tabs mean that the less- good standard won.) Using only spaces for indentation is also fine. Not as good as tabs, because if I use spaces, you're stuck reading my code in whatever poorly- thought out indent I might choose. I've seen developers use *one* space. But using only spaces does work. What does not work in general, is mixing the two. Don't mix them for indents, and you'll be fine. What I want is an option to use the tabs as I have used them in the past, with the default size. You can continue to use tabs, so long as you don't mix them with spaces. Since ambiguity about the tab size appears to be the cause for new python 3 rules, I though of an option the make that size explicit. I still think users should somehow have a way to use a tab stop of their choice, but how this could be achieved properly is another problem. Unnecessary complexity to solve a non-problem. Just pick one, tabs or spaces, and consistently use it in any one block of code. You don't even have to be consistent over an entire file. I guess a discussion like this thread is the price to be paid for relying solely on white space to delimit code blocks, like the python syntax does. Mixing spaces and tabs for indentation is bad in brace languages too. http://mailman.linuxchix.org/pipermail/programming/2004-August/001433.html Maybe if we had smarter editors and smarter diffs and smarter tools in general, it wouldn't be a problem.

What tab size do they use ? In other words, the solution to different people's definition of tabs is not to drop them, but only to get a common default. Which is already there: 8 columns between every tab stop. What python 3 does is a different attitude, and that is: everyone likes their own indent. Although I personally find it annoying, I am aware that many people use an indent of 2 spaces, some use even 3. Moreover, many C programers still like 8 spaces per indent. So some development environments find it an advantage to use tabs only for indentation, and every programmer is then free to set the tab stop to their liking. Everyone will see the indent they like, with no changes in the byte stream for the file. Why I think this is wrong is a little difficult for me explain. First, I admit this approach toward tabs has some value and is tempting for me, too. But it assumes everything, everywhere can configure tab sizes. Consoles and printers usually do not. Next, even if they can, most people, including all non-technical personal, never bother to change settings. Then this also assumes I change settings to my liking on several computers I use (maybe I work for several clients each with their computers, most people have a work computer and a home computer, maybe also a laptop and a tablet/smart device). Last, this is also not helpful if two sometimes use the same computer from time to time, and do not want to switch users all the time. So this is not a very good approach, and I have the feeling that most python programmers and development environment prefer to use only spaces than to use variable tab sizes. So the right solution remains a proper default setting for the tab size, and then we no longer have to drop tabs from source code files.

Although I tried to show this is not good practice, (and that not many people do that, really, since most of them prefer to use all-spaces instead), still I do not expect the people to change their settings. What I would expect is some option in python to make tabs work the way they used to. I want a choice for me to preserve my settings, the same way you want to preserve yours. What I want should not be much to ask, since this is how python 2 used to do things.

What I want is an option to use the tabs as I have used them in the past, with the default size. Since ambiguity about the tab size appears to be the cause for new python 3 rules, I though of an option the make that size explicit. I still think users should somehow have a way to use a tab stop of their choice, but how this could be achieved properly is another problem. What you want and what you think are irrelevant.

Could that be your problem? Why aren't you putting these two statements on separate lines? And what version of Python are you using? If 2.x, you should get a syntax error because print is a statement. If 3.x, you should get a different error because you don't put parens around the preint expression. I am getting an error as, Traceback (most recent call last): File , line 1, in model.probability(sequence) File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nltk\tag\hmm.py, line 228, in probability return 2**(self.log_probability(self._transform.transform(sequence))) File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nltk\tag\hmm.py, line 259, in log_probability alpha = self._forward_probability(sequence) File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nltk\tag\hmm.py, line 694, in _forward_probability alpha[0, i] = self._priors.logprob(state) + \ File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nltk\probability.py, line 689, in logprob elif self._prob_dict[sample] == 0: return _NINF ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous.

On 4/5/2013 5:30 AM, Steven D'Aprano wrote: I'm looking for an official way to tell what interpreter (if any) is running, or at least a not-too-horrible unofficial way. The interpreters distributed by PSF identify themselves on startup, as least in interactive mode, by displaying a line like Python 3.3.0+ (default, Mar 30 2013, 17:36:11) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 The version available as sys.version, sys.hexversion, and sys._version(). The platform is available as sys.platform. The compiler and compile date are not officially available. But you seem not to be actually asking 'what interpreter is running' but 'who started the interpreter' and 'is the interpreter i/o connected to a text-mode OS console or to a gui program, such as IDLE, more or less simulating an OS console. There is no official way because it should not matter to a running program. It is the goal of at least some IDLE developers to make the connection to the IDLE shell as transparent as possible to Python code, so that it matters as little as possible*. This is one reason for the shift from running user code in the same process and interpreter instance as Idle to running user code in a separate process with its own interpreter instance. * There are current tracker issues about making this true. We really do not want people to have to write conditional code, unless it is to work around a console problem if Idle is not being used ;-). If you have an issue not already covered on the tracker, I am curious what it is. Googling comes up with a number of hacks for detecting IDLE. Some of them are terrible. For example, I can't believe that somebody actually suggested this: if len(sys.modules) 20: print running under IDLE This is based on the fact that if running in the same process, there are a lot more imported modules and if running in a separate process, there are at least a few more imported modules to set up the rpc connection. I do not know that '20' is particularly reliable, even on startup. This one is better, but still not exactly what I consider great: Why not, if is works for all Idle versions so far? The irreducible effect of any non-OS-console environment is to override the normal i/o. sys.stdin.__class__.__module__.startswith('idlelib') 'idlelib' in sys.stdin.__class__.__module__' is possibly more future-proof. Ideally, I'd like to detect any arbitrary environment such as Spyder, IPython, BPython, etc., but will settle for just IDLE. I expect that looking as sys.stdin in someway should work for all. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm looking for an official way to tell what interpreter (if any) is running, or at least a not-too-horrible unofficial way. I was going to work on this IDLE TODO myself, but haven't got around to it. I think the best way is to use the tempfile module (to be clear this is a fix within IDLE itself). This is the whole procedure that should be necessary: 1) At IDLE startup check to see if there is an existing idle tempfile and delete it, if so. 2) Create an IDLE temp file. 3) At IDLE shutdown, delete prior tempfile. Now if anyone wants to see if IDLE is running, they only need to check to see if the tempfile exists. Hope that helps. If you implement it, you can take the item off the IDLE todo list too.

What makes sense for a word processor and what makes sense for a programming language are two very different things. Word processors are almost always working with blocks of running text, set in proportional fonts, often with multiple font sizes and styles. It is usually assumed that line breaks are ephemeral, i.e. as the text gets edited and reformatted, lines will re-flow. Word processors mostly use tabs for aligning text, e.g. in tables and lists. Exactly the same thing that tabs are used for in source code. Large blocks of running text are irrelevant, because tabs are rarely used inside large blocks of running text. Program text is almost always(*) displayed in a fixed-width font. No font information is carried along with the program text at all; it is assumed the reader will pick a font and size of their own preference, And tab settings. If you're going to complain that changing the tab settings will break the layout of the source code, so will changing the font and size. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If your editor doesn't support setting tab stops to at least single pixel resolution, it's not supporting tabs, it's supporting something else that it merely calls tabs. Yup. I use emacs. M-X edit tab stops does that. Like so much else about emacs, I haven't used that feature in years (gee, maybe decades), but it's nice to know it's there. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: I hate you all
Then you see my point, unless you are being told what to use by a boss then there are plenty of other languages you can choose from. Python is rigid about it's format, that's just what it is and a lot of people like it but if it's not your thing then some other language will probably suit you better. However, if you are working for a company, or OSS project, you are probably going to have your style dictated whatever language you use, for example the 2 space indents (*shudder*) that google uses in c++ http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml?showone=Spaces_vs._Tabs#Spaces_vs._Tabs (Interestingly google use 4 space indents in python for compatibility with PEP-8 http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html?showone=Indentation#Indentation ) You probably won't like everything in a project style but it's not about being tyrannical, and it's not a bad thing to have restrictions at the language level. I work for a company with a load of lagacy c formatted as follows: int many_many_globals; int func(int iFoo,int iBar) { int var = 10; if(iBar1) { var=iFoo+many_many_globals; } return var; } So i am pretty happy to adopt a language which defines a sane style. This is a nice flame war you have stirred up.

For something like a function, it's easy to use introspection to compare the reference target with f.__code__, f.__annotations__, etc. For a weakref, I couldn't find an easy way to retrieve the callback (or even determine whether there *was* a callback associated to the weakref). One can do a gc.get_referents call and hope that if there's exactly one object returned it's the callback, but that won't work so well with weakref.ref subclasses.

[issue15518] Provide test coverage for filecmp.dircmp.report methods.
Eli Bendersky added the comment: A lot of the code in the tests is devoted to building the tested directory tree and populating it ( _setUpDirectories and related functions). You keep building and deleting this tree for every running test. I think that a better idea would be to just create this tree somewhere in Lib/test (look at the directories under it - we can add a new one, like filecmpdata/) and then refer to it in the tests. This will remove a huge amount of code and should also make it easier to understand what exactly the contents of this tree are. For example then I can use other system Linux tools to explore the directory and figure out what I'd expect the tests to do. When test data is very small and contained, it makes sense to just create it while the test is running. But the patch has 120 LOC for that with functions calling other functions. For someone not intimately familiar with the tests, it's hard to follow which files get created and their contents. Other comments: * Don't use external functions with 'self' to serve essentially as methods. Test classes can derive from some common class that provides such functionality.
