<p>
The Tab Nanny despises ambiguous indentation.  She knows no mercy.
</p><p>
tabnanny -- Detection of ambiguous indentation
</p><p>
For the time being this module is intended to be called as a script.
However it is possible to import it into an IDE and use the function
check() described below.
</p><p>
Warning: The API provided by this module is likely to change in future
releases; such changes may not be backward compatible.
</p><p>
This is a modified version to make the original tabnanny better suitable
for being called from within the eric5 IDE.
</p><dl>
<dt>Raises <b>ValueError</b>:</dt>
<dd>
The tokenize module is too old.
