"""The Tab Nanny despises ambiguous indentation.  She knows no mercy."""

# Released to the public domain, by Tim Peters, 15 April 1998.

# XXX Note: this is now a standard library module.
# XXX The API needs to undergo changes however; the current code is too
# XXX script-like.  This will be addressed later.
