[issue19525] Strict indentation in Python3

[Sworddragon]

New submission from Sworddragon:

Python 2 provided this command line option:

"-t     Issue a warning when a source file mixes tabs and spaces for indentation in a way that makes it depend on the worth of a tab expressed in spaces.  Issue an error when the option is given twice."


I'm wondering why it doesn't exist anymore in Python 3. I wanted to make some tests to figure this out but I'm not able to trigger this behavior in Python 2. All my examples will result in throwing an exception with and without -tt or never throwing an exception with or without -tt. But I'm also having difficulties to understand what the second part of the sentence does mean. Can somebody maybe provide an example where "python2 -tt" will fail but "python2" not?
