Interestingly enough when I looked at this in response to the first
post (I don't normally use Pythonwin), I noticed that the default
setup seems to have a tab size of 4 rather than 8.  So Pythonwin was
expanding literal tabs visually to a 4-position stop rather than 8,
which is different from the language definition.  Expanding to 8 by
default (with or without the red indicators) would at least present a
visual indication of what the Python parser was going to "see".
