In Python the amount of indents marks a block. But not the visible amount but some internal calculation. So it can happen that a mix of lines *looks* indented by the same amount (some with tabs, some with spaces) and a human thinks that that's one block, but for Python it's *not*. That costed me half an hour when I just wanted to add a line to a block in a Python script that was written by another one. This was my first encounter with that hyped language and I hope it was my last encounter. What an ill concept! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
