tabs in template.py

up because t.py only expects four?

(Ideally, though, template.py shouldn't care how many spaces/tabs are
used. It would be best if it could handle any indentation scheme that
you could do in plain Python.)

no it doesnt.
The following test failes. but it gives resonable result.
lambda: t('$for x in [1, 2, 3]:\n\t$x')
(), '1\n2\n3\n',
AssertionError:
expected: '1\n2\n3\n'
got: ' 1\n 2\n 3\n'
That is perfectly fine for html.
If you try to make tabsize to 4, there can be problems in someother
places.
Python also treats tab as 8 spaces.
>>> exec("for i in range(3):\n a = i*i\n\tprint i,a")
0 0
1 1
2 4
>>> exec("for i in range(3):\n a = i*i\n\tprint i,a")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<string>", line 3
print i,a
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
In the first example, i used 8 spaces and 4 in the latter one.

'$for i in x:\n\t$if i:\n\t\tfoo'. That should work.

Yes, it doesnt work. I will try to find a solution.
