Actually, I have to disagree as the to the meaning. I would argue that in your
example (continuation of line), tabs are still appropriate. The situation the
docs refer to is a case like:
-
x = {
     "bob":   "happy",
     "jane":  "sad",
     "arnie": "indifferent"
    }

In this case, the argument is to use spaces in the inner (past non-tab chars)
alignment (of the dict values), because differences in tabstop settings make
this use not always work to align if the keys have large differences in length.

It's pretty academic though, and I use spaces everywhere anyways...
