Danny!

Thanks!  It's the tab vs spaces, alright.

I use tabs for my spacing and I was touching a part of the code that a co-worker wrote.  Guess what he uses?  Spaces.

Thanks for that insight and I'll be sure to read up on the command line options.

Hi Jason,

Can you show us the line in context?  That is, can you show us a few lines
above and below?

Also, let's make sure we're not running into a silly tab-vs-spaces issue.
Can you try running Python with the '-tt' command line option?  This will
enable Python to strictly treat mixed tabs and spaces as a bad thing.


Good luck!
