Thanks for your explanation.
I tried an found: def a(): ->print ->.print
where point is a space.
tabnanny here complains and python compile it just fine.
really? that's a syntax error (you cannot change indentation nillywilly inside a block), and the Python I'm using surely flags this as an error:
$ python -c "print repr(open('franz.py').read())" 'def a():\n\tprint\n\t print\n'
$ python franz.py File "franz.py", line 3 print ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
while tabnanny gives it one thumb up:
$ python -m tabnanny -v franz.py 'franz.py': Clean bill of health.
what Python version are you using?

Oh sorry, I meant def a(): ->print ..->print
C:\Python23\Lib>tabnanny.py -v c:\franz.py 'c:\\franz.py': *** Line 3: trouble in tab city! *** offending line: ' \tprint\n' indent not equal e.g. at tab size 1
C:\Python23\Lib>python -c "print repr(open('c:/franz.py').read())" 'def a():\n\tprint\n \tprint\n'
C:\Python23\Lib>c:/franz.py

Well, you've probably answered your own question, then. Do you think tabnanny is a useful piece of code now? I used it a lot when I first started using Python, and still run it over code from unknown sources (no pun intended) from time to time.
