This is what I have in ~/.vimrc relevant to *.py.  You can move the
global settings to 'au BufRead *.py set ...' if you like.

version 5.4
set nocompatible	" Use Vim defaults (much better!)
set backspace=2		" backspace over everything
set autoindent
set shiftwidth=4	" 4 space/indent
set smarttab		" 'shiftwidth' at beginning of line; <Tab> elsewhere
set textwidth=72	" 72 char/line
" Python indentations
au BufRead *.py set smartindent
au BufRead *.py set cinwords=if,elif,else,for,while,try,except,finally,def,class
