[New-bugs-announce] [issue44736] '\t' Escape Sequence behaving differently.

[BAHADIR]

New submission from BAHADIR <b123qweasdzxc at gmail.com>:

While working on several examples I noticed that ASCII Horizontal Tab (TAB) gives different results for different values. When I looked at the rfc documents, I couldn't see any result about its calculation. The calculation method I noticed myself is as follows ((8 -(string from previous "\t"))%8) * a number of spaces(in python IDLE) result change in other IDE or editors.
