Bug#737108: python-gamin: mixed use of tabs and spaces in the gamin.py file causing syntax erros

2014-01-30 Thread Matt Baker 
Package: python-gamin
Version: 0.1.10-4.1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

Running a contrib script supplied by the bcfg2 config management tool

   * What was the outcome of this action?

$ bcfg2-profile-templates.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File

  File /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gamin.py, line 39
err = _gamin.Errno()
   ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The script would run without an error returned from importing and using gamin

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation


While it is true that gamin uses unholy mixture of spaces and tabs for 
indentation, this does _not_ render the package unusable. The reason the 
script fails is because it uses the -tt option, which enables 
stricter-than-default indentation checks. If you remove this option from 
the script's shebang, it should start working.

Right you are. Learn something new every day. =]

I've (attempted) to lower the severity
