I've done enough custom hacking in my most important live 2.0.X install that I always wind up having to install patches by hand to ensure that nothing bad happens. This is fine, and I've no complaints (hey--what other software this great lets you modify it so thoroughly and easily?).
My complaint is that as often as not, during this manual patch process I wind up screwing up the indentation levels (which we all know in python effects the block structure) strictly because tabs are invisible. (Then cron barfs on me once a minute until I get it fixed--I realize there's no cron in 2.1, but that's not the issue--the fact that I broke it at all is the issue.) I think the reason I had so many such troubles this past update was due to vim for some reason deciding to use tab=4 instead of tab=8 when displaying stuff to me. I was hoping it would be a reasonable request to replace all tabs in the 2.1 code base with spaces to avoid this problem in the future? What do y'all think? (I hope I didn't just start a religious war...) -Dale _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
