Hi,
I have a python script on a unix system that runs fine. I have a python
script on a windows system that runs fine. Both use tabs to indent
sections of the code. I now want to run them on the same system,
actually in the same script by combining bits and pieces. But whatever
I try my windows tabs get converted to spaces when I transfer it to the
unix system and the interpreter complains that the indentation style is
not consistent throughout the file. Short of going through 350 lines of
code and manually replacing spaces with tabs what an I do? I'm thinking
there surely must be a simple solution I have missed here!
Cheers,
Ben

I've found the unexpand command, which seems to do the trick. However,
it outputs to standard output, and I haven't worked out yet how to
capture that output to a file...

Is that a general method in linux you can always use to redirect
standard output to a file?

Yup. The "<" operator redirects stdin, the ">" operator
redirects stdout. "2>" redirects stderr.

Just a tip for you: In python you never use tabs for indentation. The
python style guide [1] recommends four spaces per indentation level.

It's not quite absolute on the topic:
For new projects, spaces-only are strongly recommended over tabs.

Of course you can do it anyway you like, but you should have a
*strong* reason for not following a *strong* recommendation.
(Just a note, you can use untabify.py (inside the Tools dir) to
convert tabs to spaces, instead of unexpand)

Even if were, read the Introduction. This is a coding standard intended
to apply to code which is going to checked in as part of the core python
build, not all Python! It's probably a pretty good standard to be following
in general, but come on... If Guido really wanted this enforced across the
board he could simply call anything that doesn't meet this standard to the
letter a SyntaxError and just stop there. For example, the standard states:
- Imports should usually be on separate lines, e.g.:
Yes: import os
import sys
No: import sys, os
>>import sys, os
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: Sorry, only one module per import line!
I'm sure that's not Guido's intention. ;)

[obligatory pot-shot in the never-ending spaces versus tabs war]
In Python, I frequently use tabs for indentation, and I never have any
trouble *except* when posting code to Usenet, where other people's news
readers can't cope with tabs.
But I think we all agree that mixing tabs and spaces is A Very Bad Thing.

For preservation of indentation when moving the C source file from Windows
to Linux machine, what is the advice to format the code.
Should the code formatted using spaces instead of tabs?
When opened using nedit in Linux, the indentation was not preserved, or
should we limit the length of each line ?
Any advice on this ? Thanks

Tabs versus Spaces in Source Code
Xah Lee, 2006-05-13
In coding a computer program, there's often the choices of tabs or
spaces for code indentation. There is a large amount of confusion about
which is better. It has become what's known as “religious war†—
a heated fight over trivia. In this essay, i like to explain what is
the situation behind it, and which is proper.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
