TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation when adding to a dictionary

Question

I am trying to move selected images from nested subdirectories. I am match sku from an excel file to the image name (which is also the sku number). Any that matches are then moved into a new folder.

My challenge when I try to create a dictionary to save my full directory I am being faced with the following error message.

File "c:\printing\python\data_clean.py", line 56 fullpath_filelist = {file: os.path.join(root,dirs, file} ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Depending on the IDE, ctrl-F for the '\t' and replace with ' ' (4 spaces)
