    Pier> for tabnanny it's correct!?

Tabnanny doesn't try to find indentation syntax errors in your code.  It
identifies indentation which mixes spaces and tabs in such a way that the
file might not execute properly because of differing interpretations about
how a TAB indents.  In your case there's no ambiguity because there is no
leading whitespace at all.
