IDLE does it for you. Open the file, select all, then under the
format menu select tabify region. There is also an untabify region.
Another opition is to write your own python script. Here is a quick
little script whipped up. It assumes you know the number of spaces in
a tab and doesn't have error checking and so on.
def tabify(self, inFile, SpacesInTab):
file = open(inFile, 'r')
outputBuffer = []
for line in file:
numSpaces = len(line) - len(line.lstrip())
if line.find(" "*numSpaces) == 0: #Check to see
if whitespace is
spaces. If some tabs are included, leave alone
line = "\t"*(numSpaces/SpacesInTab) + line.lstrip()
outputBuffer.append(line)
file.close()
file = open(inFile, 'w')
file.writelines(outputBuffer)
