Your patch conflicts with this change:
http://excess.org/urwid/changeset/48

This is a patch you can apply against 0.9.7.1 (with the right -p parameter):

I've just set up public svn access, so you could use this too:
svn co https://excess.org/svn/urwid/urwid/trunk

Please let me know if your changes perform better than the ones I've 
committed.

I prefer tabs in code -- they force me to write shallow functions and 
keep me from worrying about aligning and realigning continued lines. 
They also represent ~0.8% of the available ascii space that would 
otherwise go to waste :-)

However, it seems the Python world has spoken.  I suppose I will have to 
relent, eventually...
