Sublime3 unexpected indent trickle affect - datguy.dev - Oct 25, 2016
Greetings,
I was curious if you guys had any tips about a Sublime setup when it comes to Python? Sometimes when I go run my code I get an unexpected indent error. It happens ... so I go check statements, tabs, and spaces.
The issue is when I 'fix' one line of code, the spaces or whatever, it affects the next line. I fix that next line, and it happens to the next line! It is quite frustrating. It doesn't matter if I start corrections from the top or below. I can select the text and see the spaces and tabs. They change as I make the corrections to other lines.

No tips about Sublime setup, but launching the script by:
Code
python -tt script.pyshould solve the problem.

Are you mixing tabs and spaces? Python can generally handle either, but not both.

Hi, i had this problem also, but i found the easiest trick for it.
In Sublime click, View->Indentation->Convert indentations to Tabs

Not directly. I strictly use tabs, but somehow spaces get in there.

Thanks. I think that'll help a bit. But I think it maybe more that my tab size was 4. I have to manually restructure about 10 scripts and thousands of lines of code just to fix the spacing. Find a replace doesn't fully do the job.

I had the problem cause i copy pasted my script from pycharm, and the fix works all the time, it converts every line so i dont have to do it manually :)
How come you have to do manually when it does it auto? :D

The automatic indentation function you stated previously isn't correctly fixing all the indents. It'll randomly leave 4 spaces, in other areas in doesn't. It breaks statements, nested statements, and thus the flow of a script. So I have to do a logic check as well. meh. . . It is better than nothing.

Honestly, it is just messing up because of the current spacing issues in scripts. This is a good learning experience for me to setup before starting. Thanks for the suggestion. It saved me quite some time. 👍
