Very strange error of indentation
#1
Reference is made to the python code listed here http://reionization.org/wp-content/uploa...st2ra.html and, in details, to this piece one http://imgbox.com/uaj4dzLS
By running the file below, and being checked the proper indentations which match the original, surprisingly I obtain next awful prompt:

Output:
C:\Training>python bryna.py File "bryna.py", line 35 return cirs_ra ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
Where is my fault? Thx in advance

# ---------bryna.py ------------
import numpy as np
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord, Angle, EarthLocation
from astropy.time import Time
from astropy import units
#
mjd = 55780.1
latitude = Angle('-26d42m11.94986s')
longitude = Angle('116d40m14.93485s')
#
obs_time = Time(mjd, format='mjd', location = (longitude, latitude))
lst_apparent = obs_time.sidereal_time('apparent')
print(lst_apparent)
#  Output1: 7h11m46.2716s
#
# The frame radio astronomers call the apparent or current epoch is the
# "true equator & equinox" frame, notated E_gamma in the USNO circular 179
# (http://aa.usno.navy.mil/publications/docs/Circular_179.php)
# astropy doesn't have this frame but it's pretty easy to adapt the CIRS frame
# by modifying the ra to reflect the difference between
# GAST (Grenwich Apparent Sidereal Time) and the earth rotation angle (theta).
# The earth rotation angle is most clearly explained in the 2nd paragraph of Chapter 6
# of the USNO circular (page 50)
# The relationship between E_gamma and CIRS is shown in the figure on page 57 of the circular

def egamma_to_cirs_ra(egamma_ra, time):
    from astropy import _erfa as erfa
    from astropy.coordinates.builtin_frames.utils import get_jd12
    era = erfa.era00(*get_jd12(Time(mjd, format='mjd'), 'ut1'))
    theta_earth = Angle(era, unit='rad')

    assert(isinstance(time, Time))
    gast = time.sidereal_time('apparent', longitude=0)
    cirs_ra = egamma_ra - (gast-theta_earth)
	return cirs_ra

# If we define a source at RA = apparent LST and Dec = latitude it should be at zenith
loc_obj = EarthLocation.from_geodetic(lon=longitude, lat=latitude)
# use CIRS but with a different ra to account for the difference between LST & earth's rotation angle
cirs_ra = egamma_to_cirs_ra(lst_apparent, Time(mjd, format='mjd'))

egamma_zenith_coord = SkyCoord(ra=cirs_ra, dec=latitude, frame='cirs',
                               obstime=Time(mjd, format='mjd'), location = loc_obj)
