    4 Spaces, then one tab, then 3 spaces, then 2 tabs, then 2 spaces, then 3 tabs…

    Python supports that (and I hate this)

        Not any standard (and actually not at all something to do for real), but try it, it works

        def magic(a, b, c):
            if a > 0:
            	if b > 0:
            	   		if c > 0:
            	   		  return 'All positive'
            
            return 'Not all positive'
        
        print(magic(1,2,3))
        print(magic(-1,1,2))
        print(magic(1,-1,0))
        print(magic(-1,-1,-2))
        

        (you should be able to verify I used both tab and spaces f*cking bad way in this example, like I described)

        Output:

        All positive
        Not all positive
        Not all positive
        Not all positive

          That’s really interesting. So does that mean the interpreter just checks whether the current line is more indented, less indented, or equal vs. the preceding, without caring by how much?

      “indentation is indentation!” (mr_incredible_cereal.jpg)

      it may look messy, but would you actually rather Python didn’t support some inconsistency when the intent is clear?

      being exact just for the sake of being pedantic isn’t useful.
