[Python-Dev] Did I miss the decision to untabify all of the C code? (original) (raw)

It looks like we're moving ahead with removing tabs. Was there consensus on this?

Last I saw Antoine had written a script that might do what we want, but hadn't been thoroughly tested. Now I've seen a few checkins for files that have been run through the script. What gives? And why do this so close to 2.7? I don't think it will cause any problems, but it's hard to review commits to ensure they have no changes when there's a rush of large commits near a release.

I presume Victor was acting on an older decision that said that files mixed with tabs and spaces can be reindented for consistency.
