hello,

there are many Python codes in tools/ that mix tab and space for
indentation, which might introduce some silly and hidden bugs. this is
a serious problem and must be avoid at all cost.

I would suggest doing the opposite, like Linux does, but I guess this is mostly a matter of taste (i.e. your's is bad and mine is good ;-))
