"tabnanny" --- Detection of ambiguous indentation ************************************************* **Source code:** Lib/tabnanny.py ====================================================================== For the time being this module is intended to be called as a script. However it is possible to import it into an IDE and use the function "check()" described below. Note: The API provided by this module is likely to change in future releases; such changes may not be backward compatible. tabnanny.check(file_or_dir) If *file_or_dir* is a directory and not a symbolic link, then recursively descend the directory tree named by *file_or_dir*, checking all ".py" files along the way. If *file_or_dir* is an ordinary Python source file, it is checked for whitespace related problems. The diagnostic messages are written to standard output using the "print()" function. tabnanny.verbose Flag indicating whether to print verbose messages. This is incremented by the "-v" option if called as a script. tabnanny.filename_only Flag indicating whether to print only the filenames of files containing whitespace related problems. This is set to true by the "-q" option if called as a script. exception tabnanny.NannyNag Raised by "process_tokens()" if detecting an ambiguous indent. Captured and handled in "check()". tabnanny.process_tokens(tokens) This function is used by "check()" to process tokens generated by the "tokenize" module.
