[New-bugs-announce] [issue5729] Allows tabs for indenting JSON output

[Walter Dörwald <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

New submission from Walter Dörwald <walter at livinglogic.de>:

This patchs makes it possible to use tabs for indenting the output of
json.dumps(). With this patch the indent argument can now be either an
integer specifying the number of spaces per indent level or a string
specifying the indent string directly::

   json.dumps(list(range(10), indent=3) # three spaces per indent
   json.dumps(list(range(10), indent="\t") # one tab per indent
