# Triggering and catching TabError
try:
    exec("if True:\n\t x = 1\n  y = 2")
except TabError as e:
    print(f"Caught TabError: {e}")
    print(f"Type: {type(e).__name__}")

TabError is raised when raised when tabs and spaces are mixed inconsistently. Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.
