If it converts tabs to 3 spaces, won't this break any code that already
has more than 3 spaces in a row?  In minor cases, it won't come out
actually broken, but the checksum won't match.  In more serious cases,
this will mess up the indentation (Python assumes tabs are equal to 8
spaces).  Why not just convert tabs to "\t" or some such?
