Well, not exactly. The following code is syntactically correct (at least
in the sense that Python 2.1 doesn't produce a syntax error):
# tab-width:4
def f():
a = 1 # four spaces indent
b = 2 # one tab indent
The Python tokenizer recognizes various forms of the tab-width comment.
I'm not sure it's documented anywhere except in the sources.
