inconsistent use of tabs python

Question

I am getting the following error: How can I fix it?

File "/Users/rjeudy/PycharmProjects/virtualenv/virtualenv/src/products/forms.py", line 35 def clean_title(self, *args, **kwargs): ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

        def clean_title(self, *args, **kwargs):
            title = self.cleaned_data.get("title")
            if "CFE" in title:
                return title

Answer 1

The problem is that you are using both tabs and spaces inconsistently.

If you use vim as your text editor you can fix this with ':retab'

Answer 2

Welcome to SO.

It's your indentation. If you're using PyCharm you can reformat your code and or auto-indent the lines.

In the taskbar: code -> auto-indent lines.
