If Person B reformats without testing then you're going to have
problems in *any* language not just Python.
The problems are an order fo magnitude worse in Python. In other languages,
so long as he only changes indentation there will be no errors. In Python,
that alone will fuck things up.

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.
The fact there's a work around doesn't excuse it as a language flaw.
