Use 'python -tt'. From the manpage:

       -t     Issue a warning when a source file mixes  tabs  and
              spaces  for  indentation  in  a  way  that makes it
              depend on the worth of a tab expressed  in  spaces.
              Issue an error when the option is given twice.

07:32:45:tty6:gerrit at stopcontact:~$ python -tt /usr/local/bin/world
  File "/usr/local/bin/world", line 115
    return rawaddr
                 ^
SyntaxError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

I have an alias...

regards,
Gerrit.
