If Person B reformats without testing then you're going to have problems in *any* language not just Python. > Unforunately he used tabs and the other guy used spaces). This > is why using indentation as a language concept is bad. There are ways to deal with this. For example, Python has a switch to treat combinations of tabs and spaces as errors. Also, editors can be set to replace tabs with spaces when saving. But again, if Person B is going to muck up code without testing it then your orgs problems goes beyond Python indentation. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
