Would you prefer if I said that a "tab" was defined to be 8 spaces?
Regardless of how you display them, python defines a tab to increment
to the next 8-space boundary.

Shrug.  Whatever suits you best, I guess.  I just hate getting all-tab
code, since then I have to re-indent it for it to be readable.
All-space code, on the other hand, always looks fine.
