Elpy: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

[AttilaVM]

Hello everyone!

I got : “inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation” with elpy.
I worked around it with using space instead of tabs:

(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)

I hope it will help others.

Hello, and thanks for the information!

Emacs' python-mode, which Elpy uses, should already by default set indent-tabs-mode to nil – did you change this in your personal configuration?

[jorgenschaefer]

Lacking further updates, I assume this problem is resolved. Please do not hesitate to open a new issue if you have further problems, and enjoy Elpy!

Just a note, I can confirm this misbehaviour still exists for Emacs 24.5.1 on Mac OSX and elpy 1.12.0 installed from melpa. As mentioned, it is solved setting indent-tabs-mode to nil.

Thanks for your work ;)

Please test this with emacs -Q to make sure this is not some kind of local misconfiguration.

Can confirm this is a problem for me as well -- emacs 24.5.1, elpy 1.12

Thank you, worked for me as well - win7, python 3.5.2; emacs 25.2.1; elpy 1.8.0.
The issue started with the 2nd level of indentation, where apparently only one space worked (instead of 4).

Hi @jorgenschaefer I'm having problems copying a snippet of code from python to org-mode's src block without seeing the inconsistent tab/space problem.

I reset indent-tabs-mode to nil.

[jorgenschaefer]

I have no idea why that might be. Does it happen without Elpy as well? If so, it's something in your Emacs configuration.

[yitang]

yeah, it sounds like my emacs config has some issues..

I am also experiencing the same issue when eval a python source block, which has two or more for loops, using org-babel. When editing the code in a single file everything works as expected. It is an extremely annoying issue.

Elpy is only used to evaluate org python source block when you use poly-org-mode.
Is it the case ?
