Learning a lot about Python from Holly Glaceon 
@vaporeon_ a very large brain which contains many fun python facts, im sure
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ a lot of useful ones and a whole bunch of useless ones from my years golfing lmao
@monorail @vaporeon_ i am useless/esoteric fact enjoyer so feel free to share horrendous evil python knowledge with me please 🥺
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ did you know that in python2, spaces and tabs can coexist? and they're considered two different indentation depths? this can save bytes if you need to nest things deeply while golfing, every line that would start with two spaces can instead start with a tab
@monorail @vaporeon_ disgusting. absolutely vile.
thank you.
@monorail @wallhackio Time to re-install Python2 on my computer specifically to test this
@monorail @wallhackio Oh, wait, maybe I should just use the old computer instead, assuming that it has Python2 and not Python1
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i actually don't know a goddamn thing about python1
@monorail @wallhackio The old computer (running Gentoo from 2007) does have Python2 already, it has version 2.4.3
An even older computer that I've set up only has Python1, that's why I was unsure
@monorail @wallhackio But what do you mean with "spaces and tabs can coexist"? If you mean something like in the attached screenshot (^I is a tab, whitespaces are whitespaces, $ is end of line, this is Vim's listing mode), then this also works in Python3
def foo(x):
if x<5:
^Iprint("x is less than 5")
@monorail @wallhackio Yeah, that's cursed 
And it works in Python2 and not in Python3!
@wallhackio @monorail Same, Vaporeon is very eager to learn useless Python facts, too, and not just the useful ones
