I tweaked the preferences in komodo edit and ended up with:
don't auto indent
don't allow file contents to override tab settings
prefer tab characters over spaces
4 spaces per indent
4 width of each tab char
I also set komodo to show whitespace and tabs, which eneded up revealing the screwed up sections.
yeah - it's a little picky. :)

I have installed python 3.0 on ubuntu 8.10 along with komodo-edit ide.
I'm just getting into python, and I'm reading through visual quickstart guide python 2nd ed. (the example below is from that book). I'm getting some really frustrating errors and would really appreciate your thoughts.
I've re-typed and checked tabs many times over.
I'm starting to think that something in the install or setup has gone wrong.
I typed the following into komodo-edit:
#!/usr/bin/python3.0
for row in range(1, 10):
for col in range(1, 10):
p = row * col
if p < 10:
print(' ', end = '')
print(row * col, ' ', end = '')
print()
I can't test this is IDLE with python 3 - can't seem to get that version of IDLE installed. for now, I'm trying to run from the shell.
first, just using "python" to call the program...
PYTHON [1] $ python ktest.py
File "ktest.py", line 6
print(' ', end = '')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
now trying different ways of calling the python compiler...
PYTHON [1] $ python ktest.py
File "ktest.py", line 6
print(' ', end = '')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
PYTHON [1] $ python3 ktest.py
File "ktest.py", line 4
p = row * col
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
PYTHON [1] $ python3.0 ktest.py
File "ktest.py", line 4
p = row * col
