Tab Error in Python

Question

The following python code throws this error message, and I can\'t tell why, my tabs seem to be in line:

File \"test.py\", line 12
    pass
       ^ TabError         


        

Answer 1

Using Visual Studio 2019

I was using tabs but the editor was inserting spaces and it would result in errors.

To avoid getting the spaces and tabs mixed up , set your preferences

Go to Edit->Advanced->Set Leading Whitespace->Tabs (or Whitespaces)

After I set it to Tabs, my tabs stop being represented as spaces and it worked fine thereafter
