Build 160025 bug report.

I have a folder structure /AAAdriver/ inside of which I have DriverInfo.py and TripDataA.py.

previously, from within DriverInfo.py,

"import TripDataA"

worked just fine. With the latest beta, I'm getting "ImportError: No module named TripDataA"

From someone who indents with spaces - there are a few things that don't work as well with spaces indentation as with tabs:

Backspace on a space indent only deletes a single space, as opposed to {indentwidth} spaces like in 1.5
The "indent" option in the selection popup menu always indents with tabs no matter what
The "dedent" option always dedents by only a single space
The width of a tab character in the editor doesn't match the width of {indentwidth} spaces. Or rather it only matches if the default font settings are used.

Slightly related, it is still not possible to indent in the console using an external keyboard's tab key.

It would also be useful if there was a way to set indent mode for individual files. Not necessarily in a permanent way. For example most C source files assume that tabs are 8 chars wide, and some things look very "unaligned" otherwise.

I find the mechanism for opening multiple existing files a bit confusing: In editor, select [+. Then open file selection (hamburger menu), then select file. I would like to see a more straight forward way to do this from file selection directly, for instance hold file name for a longer time, show context menu allowing to "open in new tab" (similar to link in safari).

@georg-viehoever You can swipe left on a file to get an "Open in new tab" option.

@omz that was quick :) Frankly, I always associated left swipe with delete (as in the mail app), not with open... Maybe "long hold" is more intuitive, and could also be used for other advanced actions such as rename etc..

Another wish: Copy and Paste on tracebacks. Would also be useful for some people in this forum that post long programs for correction...

Actually, I can wait for releasing Pythonista 1.6 but It has been so long. Could I play with the next version of Pythonista? I try to run script from the forum but some of them only support 1.6. I will send my Apple ID via email.
Thank you,
