>From the SciTE/Scintilla docs:

| tab.timmy.whinge.level
| 
| For Python code, checks whether indenting is consistent. The default, 0 
| turns off indentation checking, 1 checks whether each line is 
| potentially inconsistent with the previous line, 2 checks whether any 
| space characters occur before a tab character in the indentation, 3 
| checks whether any spaces are in the indentation, and 4 checks for any 
| tab characters in the indentation.
| 1 is a good level to use.

It's also in de wxSTC docs:

(Below the lexers table.)
