On a Python source file, when I type "def function(" I get a "):" for free. ;)

It seems TextMate understand that it added the ")" automatically (so
it just skips it when I press ")"), but not the ":".

Well, I'm not using TAB in this case yet.

No, I didn't. Well, I just did and it works fine now. Thanks heaps!

I understand that. It's probably a pain to check strings and such, but
I guess doing it with any other command should be fine (Python knows
when to keep reading if you left an open bracket somewhere.)

Just to add some more information: Most of my source were edited on
Vim on a Linux box. Vim does the hard-breaking stuff, but gets
confused when you have a string (it actually breaks the string, which
doesn't work as one would expect.)

Ok, that's totally my fault. It seems the code is using tabs and I
added the line breaks using spaces. "Show invisibles"  (as pointed by
Jay) shows that yes, I did mix spaces and tabs. Can you guys just
forgot that I mentioned that? ;)
