Thanks for the replies. After reading the comments in Whitespace.py
I just changed PythonWin to use 8 spaces per tab, use spaces instead
of hard tabs and an indent of 4, with auto-indent enabled, and that
seemed to do it. At least I tried pasting out of the same file that
hung me up before and didn't get any glitch.
The more I mess around with Python the more I like it. I can see
the advantage of the indentation scheme since it's not as easy
to have an "obfuscated source" file that will actually compile like
you can in C. :)
