Support mixing tabs and spaces in python2

Yuck... but python2 recognizes a tab as 8 spaces when the two are mixed. Currently this produces an IndentationError when parsing.
Some good explanation here:

There is probably a more graceful way to handle this situation, anyway, aside from failing outright.

It's a quite a legacy combination of python2 and tabs and spaces mixed together.
Definitely agree, that failing in more specific way would be better, might be even with advise to change tabs to whitespaces
