Python: So you used spaces and tabs for indentation? NOW DIE!

Mixing spaces and tabs should be a warcrime.

Find me anyone who claims they use tabs for indentation, and I bet I'll find at least one case where they're using both tabs and spaces.

The only safe way to avoid war crimes is to avoid tabs.

Don't IDEs just replace any tab with 4 spaces anyways? Pretty sure VSCode does

I don't use an ide, but I wrote a script that replaces any space I type with four.

I haven't worked out all the use cases yet, though.

That's a setting in the editor.
