The end of the white space war
Python coders against the rest of the world – an ever known dilemma because of a tabulator.
Python uses tabulators to mark the depth of your source code. This means that one tabulator more or less will convert your previously useful source code into something non-functional or even not interpretable text.
Lateral had the idea to write a converter which uses #{ and #} as start and end marker for a code block. The correct indentation for processing with python will automatically be inserted.
What about a converter for the other direction? I think that would make BPython even more useful.
