Python indentation issues using panic CODA

Question

Any one else getting lots of indentation syntax errors when writing python in panics coda IDE? Ive been getting a lot of these, and just shuffling my code around seems gets rid of the error. Bug?

Answer 1

This is usually due to shifting between tabs and spaces as tabs. I've set my invisible character color (Preferences -> Colors) to be visible on the page so that I can see if I'm using tabs or spaces. The Python standard is to use 4 spaces for a tab. I've set this as the default as well (Preferences -> Editor then uncheck 'Use tabs' and set tab width to 4). Finally, you can clean up a file that switches between tabs and spaces or is using tabs instead of spaces by selecting the text and then going to the Text menu and selecting Detab.
