When I running my program, I encounter ”taberror: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation in python” error: 

a = int(input("Please enter an integer A: "))
b = int(input("Please enter an integer B: "))
if b > a:
       print("B is greater than A")
elif a == b:
       print("A and B are equal")
   else:
       print("A is greater than B")

Output:

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

How can it be solved?

    The cause: This occurs because the code has all the tabs and spaces mixed up.

    The solution: To correct this, make sure that the code is indented evenly. Another option to repair this mistake is to press Ctrl + A to select the full code. Then go to the Format settings in IDLE. Untabify the region by clicking on it.

    You can adding given below line at the beginning of code:

    #!/usr/bin/python -tt
