The error message complains that a mix tabs and spaces are being used to indent code somewhere around line 80. I would look at the buttons dictionary. I used to get this error a lot when editing code in Notepad++ before I configured the editor to use spaces instead of tabs when editing Python code.
I cannot find where tabs are being used. I even copied the file to a file and wrote a Python program to look for tabs and found none. But it may be that the act of posting the code replaced the tabs with spaces.
RE: TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation - perfringo - Dec-27-2020
Copying from webpage may do some tricks so results are inconclusive but after pasting this code into Vim it was full of red. Every single empty line started with tabs, almost every conditional line ended with trailing whitespaces. (my vimrc is set to "Display tabs at the beginning of a line in Python mode as bad." and "Make trailing whitespace be flagged as bad.")
As I noted before - copying and pasting from webpage can do tricks but it would not hurt to go over file and correct where needed.

I have already forked Python to have proper { } blocks and get rid of this fancy indentation rules. If there is anybody interested I can make my git become public or share the diff file. To be clear, the forked version can still continue to work on indented-style files, you can just decide every time you open a statement if you want to use the indent-style or { }.
