I'm still not convinced. The tabbing should either have led to a
SyntaxError or to testit() becoming a nested method. If it was a
nested method you wouldn't be able to reach it via the web like
http://localhost:8080/testprod/testit
But let's drop this now :)

If you're struggling with getting your editor to only use spaces
correctly you can ask the list for advise since there are many
different python progammers here with the same experience.
