Please do not top-post in this list. Put your text after the message you
quote.
Tabs and spaces are 2 different characters, tab ASCII code is 9, space
ASCII code is 32.
You *need* to understand that they are 2 differents characters.
The problem come with their representation.
1/ a space is represented by 1 whitespace
2/ a tab is represented by x whitespaces. The number x depends on your
text editor.
When you want to indent a python block, you put whitespaces on its left
to indent it. You can indent using either tabs or spaces.
Python does not tell you which one to use, but it tells you to choose
*one* method, and stick with it.
