Jérôme LAURENS <[email protected]> added the comment:
To be more precise, consider code
def f(x):
\tx=0 # 7 spaces + one tab
return x # 8 spaces
In cpython, both indentation levels are 8 and no indentation error is reported
(this is the case where both tab size and alt tab size are equal)
If instead of 8 the tab would count for 6 spaces, then we would have 12 and 8
as indentation level, resulting in a mismatch and an indentation error being
reported, according to the documentation. This is inconsistent.
Then either the documentation is faulty or cpython is.
Actually, cpython accepts a mix of space and tabs only when tabs are in 8, 16,
24... positions.
