Comment (by kini):
Another reason to avoid tab characters in .py files is because they can be
confusing to anyone trying to read them with an editor whose tab stops are
set to something other than 8 characters, if tabs and spaces are mixed
(because indentation levels may appear to differ from what the python
interpreter actually judges them to be). The python interpreter has a
command line switch `-t` which issues warnings when such a condition
exists, for example.
reStructuredText, like Python code, is indentation-sensitive, and so tabs
should be avoided in reStructuredText for the same reason they should be
avoided in Python code. The same is true of .pxi files.
Dunno why we're testing for tabs in .tex files, though.
