Tab Characters in Python Code

I'm trying to resolve an issue with my source base that uses
matplotlib. We run our CI tests with the '-tt' option which causes
errors on mixed tabs/spaces, and this has caused our builds to start
failing since the inclusion of matploblib on one of our projects due
to mixed use of tab and space characters in some of the pure python
code. We're using v0.99.0 and I count 43 occurences of tab characters
across 5 files in this release. I checked out the trunk and found 26
occurrences across 9 files. I determined these via:
find -name \*.py|xargs grep -P '\t', and
find -name \*.py|xargs grep -Pl '\t'

According to the style guide[1], use of tabs is a bug, but I wanted to
inquire if this standard is still in place before filing a bug report.
I can provide a patch if so (which should only consist of running
reindent).

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks. Yes, I would consider tabs a bug. A patch is very welcome.
