Summary: Tab / Space Configuration Does Not Work in IDLE
Initial Comment:
On Python 2.3/IDLE 1.0, when I go from the editor to:
Options->Configure Idle->Font/Tabs
And set it to "Tab key inserts tabs" what actually
happens is that the tab key inserts spaces (4 spaces).

Removed Tab indentation selection from the Options
dialog. Not appropriate for IDLE. Tab indentation default
may still be configured 'manually' by modifying
config-main.def but that's for experts. You can switch on
tabs for individual Edit windows using the Format menu.
(Note: the Tab indent option was never finished and
never operable)
Changing the 'screen' indent width in the Options menu
will now be effective if you aren't using tabs (it's always
8 if you are using tabs).
Thanks for the patch and the reminder.

I got the error. I am using Python 2.3.4.
Hitting TAB in the editor advances the cursor by "4" spaces
irrespective of the "indent width" in Configure idle...->
Fonts/Tab -> choose indentation size:
I did a quick and dirty fix.
I had to modify the Line# 915 in file <py install
path>Python23/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py
Requires restart of IDLE for the change to take effect.
[Before]
indentwidth = 3
[After]
indentwidth =
idleConf.GetOption('main','Indent','num-spaces',
default=4,type='int')

I can reproduce this on XP and Linux.
Of course, everyone should use 4 spaces :)

Mmm.. I re-installed the Windows Python-2.3 installer EXE on
a fresh PC and I have the problem, even when I hit "Apply"
and "OK".
It is not a big deal of course, but would be nice if it worked..

I cannot reproduce the problem.
This may be a silly question, but did you click Apply after
changing the setting?
