sorry. the exact problem was that something like this in pyoxide
def a():
if x:
pass
would look like this in smultron
def a():
if x:
pass
if i indented the pass line, then when running the code i got an error
saying there was wrong syntax at the line return after "if x:"
But i solved this by changing the default option to save tabs as spaces
in PyOxide, now Smultron opens them ok.
thanks for the tips
