First time I tried Python, 2000 or so, was given code that did a thing. I didn't need the thing, I just wanted working Python code to see how/if it worked.

It was indented with tabs.

Somewhere along the line, one of the lines went " \t" instead of "\t".

It took me hours to figure that out.

I know that, w/ 2.7 and 3.5, it no longer would do that. I have tested and proven it.

I still hate it. Hate is emotional, not rational.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
