Pythonw IDLE Tab setting

[Bernhard Mulder]

Here are the changes I made to get an indent of 3:

<     spaceindent = 3*" "
---
>     spaceindent = 4*" "
110,111c110,111
<         if i == n and chars[-3:] == "   ":
<             ndelete = 3
---
>         if i == n and chars[-4:] == "    ":
>             ndelete = 4

<                 line = line[:i] + "   " + line[i:]
---
>                 line = line[:i] + "    " + line[i:]
171,173c171,173
<                         indent = indent[:-1] + "   "
<                     elif indent[-3:] == "   ":
<                         indent = indent[:-3]
---
>                         indent = indent[:-1] + "    "
>                     elif indent[-4:] == "    ":
>                         indent = indent[:-4]

<                         indent = indent[:-3]
