"""
If the filename being complained about contains a space, enclose the
file-name in quotes.
The reason is simply that when I try and parse tabnanny's output, filenames
with spaces make it very difficult to determine where the filename stops
and the linenumber begins!

Tim approves.
I slightly changed the patch (use 'in' instead of string.find()) and
arbitrarily bumped the __version__ variable up to 6.
I should have waited overnight <wink/sigh>. Nothing wrong with the one I
sent, but I couldn't resist going on to add new -r1 / -r2 cmdline options
for recreating the original files from ndiff's output. That's attached, if
you're game! Us Windows guys don't usually have a sed sitting around
<wink>.
Attached is a cleaned-up version of ndiff (added useful module
docstring, now echo'ed in case of cmd line mistake); added -q option
to suppress initial file identification lines; + other minor cleanups,
& a slightly faster match engine.

the NEWS file of Python 1.5.2a2 inspired me to look at
Tools/scripts/untabify.py. I wonder why it accepts a -t argument
but ignores it. The following patch tries to make it somewhat useful
(i.e., to override the tabsize=8 setting). Is that agreeable?

.mirrorinfo. Fix by me to call string.lstrip(filename) to cope with a
bug in strop.strip() in Python 1.4. Additionally, I changed all print
statements that print filenames etc. to put them in backquotes so that
it will be more obvious when there's a funny character on one of them
(such as a space...).
The 1.5.1 tabnanny.py suffers an assert error if fed a script whose last
line is both indented and lacks a newline:
if 1:
print 'oh fudge' # no newline here:
The attached version repairs that.

Also changed usage message into a doc string, added a comment or two,
and rearranged a long line.
