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

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.
"""

# 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.
