Comment #2 on issue 1707 by percival.music.ca: add python -tt to build system
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1707

hmm, I must admit that 10 minutes of looking didn't turn out the kind of python invocation of scripts I was expecting. Python files are copied across to out/ using stepmake/bin/install.py (why isn't that in scripts/build/ ? I have no clue. I had no idea we even had a stepmake/bin/ directory!), but invoking that script with -tt would only change that the install.py script uses correct tabs.

Now, there's no harm in adding -tt to the default $(PYTHON) command, but that would only catch errors in something like 25% of our python files. OTOH, I'm not too worried about problems in python files. I'm the worst (only?) offender in the past 5 years to use tabs, and I'm reforming. As long as we have an official policy of not using tabs (and can therefore reject any patch which introduces them), I don't think we need to get all fussed about this issue.



Let's leave this as a potential "introduction to our build system" in case there's a Frog that wants to play with an easy item, but otherwise ignore it. If nobody's touched this in a year or two, we can mark it invalid.
