"""
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.
will compare equal even if the master file uses only \n to terminate
lines (this is by far the most common situation). Also, check for the
case where the master file is missing, and print the time difference
in seconds when the slave file appears newer than the master (for
debugging).
