The Python "TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation" occurs when we mix tabs and spaces in the same code block. To solve the error, remove the spacing and only use tabs or spaces, but don't mix the two in the same code block.
The Python “TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation” error is raised when you try to indent code using both spaces and tabs. You fix this error by sticking to either spaces or tabs in a program and replacing any tabs or spaces that do not use your preferred method of indentation.

You can fix the tab inconsistency by converting all indentation to tab or spaces. If you open the "Show All Commands" tab, ( by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P or F1 ) and search for "convert indentation", two options will by available:
Just choose tabs if you use tabs or spaces if use spaces as your indentation method.
