I understood you to mean that different mixtures of tabs and spaces would work, so long as they were equivalent to the same indentation under the 8- spaces = 1 tab rule that you cited.

The fundamental problem was that Unicode was a mess in Python 2 that needed to be cleaned up. Since they had no choice but to break backward compatibility in that regard, they figured they would fix a few other things while they were at it.
