set autoindent          
set smartindent         
set cinwords=class,def,elif,else,except,finally,for,if,try,while
syntax on

Ray, this should handle indents for Python correctly.
It does have a nasty habit of moving a line starting with a # to the
first cloumn. I have not figured how to stop that yet.

I believe if you set both expandtabs and backspace=2, the backspce key
will not remove the indent. Since the indent now is a number of spaces.
