TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Hello,

I've tried to install rope from master branch, but it failed with the following error:

Good person committing 7232b26 broke our code.

[ColinDuquesnoy]

Thank you!

[MarekLew]

Sorry about that. 7232b26 is my first fix. Unfortunately, I relied solely on testing and installing "python setup.py install".

[mcepl]

@MarekLew don't worry about it, happens ... just next time make sure to run python setup.py clean build test before pushing the commit. Thank you.

[MarekLew]

@mcepl Yes It's happens
I tested this on two computers and 3 systems before committing.
On Ubuntu (14.04,14.06) and python 2.7.12 all test passed.
On windows 7 more test fault(I don't care this.).
Changing editor helped ;)

obviously i am a bit late, but i'm training to run a program (python 2.7) on windows 10 and i get a indentation error. although i'm using the exact same code on ubuntu and it is running perfectly.. does
same code on ubuntu and it is running perfectly.. how can I fix it??

This issue was not windows-specific, so probably not the right forum.

Using spaces instead of tabs might help clear up your problem.
