[issue17670] expandtabs() weirdness

2013-04-09 Thread Ned Deily 

Ned Deily added the comment:

That's a good point.  Here's a patch for the documentation with a simplified 
example:

  >>> '01\t456\t89'.expandtabs(4)
  '01  456 89'

What do others think: is an example useful and, if so, this example?

[issue17670] expandtabs() weirdness

2013-04-08 Thread Ned Deily 

Ned Deily added the comment:

Yes, the behavior is by design.  I think you are misunderstanding how 
exandtabs() works.  The "tabsize" argument indicates the number of columns each 
tab position occupies.  So, with a tabsize of 4, the tab positions occur every 
four columns; the tab positions are where the characters immediately following 
the tab character start.  Perhaps this example will make the behavior clearer:

>>> '1\t2'.expandtabs(4)
'1   2'
>>> '12\t3'.expandtabs(4)
'12  3'
>>> '123\t4'.expandtabs(4)
'123 4'
