They say so, but python does not work that way. This is a simple script:

from unittest import TestCase

class SvnExternalCmdTests(TestCase) :
    def test_parse_svn_external(self) :
	for sample_external in sample_svn_externals :
	    self.assertEqual(parse_svn_externals(sample_external[0][0], sample_external[0][1]), [ sample_external[1] ])

And at the `for` statement at line 5 I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Adrian\Projects>python sample-py3.py
  File "sample-py3.py", line 5
    for sample_external in sample_svn_externals :
                                                ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation


Line 5 is the only line in the file that starts at col 9 (after a tab). Being the only line in the file with that indent level, how can it be inconsistent ?

You can try the script as it is, and see python 3.3 will not run it
