18.6 tabnanny -- Detection of ambiguous indentation

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.

Warning: The API provided by this module is likely to change in future releases; such changes may not be backward compatible.

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 statement.

verbose

Flag indicating whether to print verbose messages. This is set to true by the -v option if called as a script.

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 NannyNag

Raised by tokeneater() if detecting an ambiguous indent. Captured and handled in check().

tokeneater(type, token, start, end, line)

This function is used by check() as a callback parameter to the function tokenize.tokenize().
