I think we disagree. The trick with a tab is that you don't care / don't know
how "big" it is. Sure, most editors expand it to eight spaces (unless you tell
them otherwise). Personally I like tab's to be displayed as three spaces. Now
that I know that the Python Python style is 4 spaces (not a tab) I might switch
to that

I'll look at tabnanny.py, thanks for the tip :-)
