Append inside for?

[deanhystad]

There is no error in the posted code. The error message indicates that sometimes you indent using tabs and other times using spaces. I think this gets cleaned up by the python tags.

This code runs fine for me:

choices = list("ABCD")
menu = ""
opts1 = []
for idx, choice in enumerate(choices):
    menu += str(idx).ljust(6) + choice + "\n"
    opts1.append(str(idx))

But this code that looks identical generates the error you are seeing.

choices = list("ABCD")
menu = ""
opts1 = []
for idx, choice in enumerate(choices):
    menu += str(idx).ljust(6) + choice + "\n"
	opts1.append(str(idx))  # Starts with a tab instead of 4 spaces.

Error:
    opts1.append(str(idx))
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Next time you post be sure to include the entire error message.
