FYI, it's pretty simple...

I use vim for writing python in, with the following options:
:set et
:set tabstop=4

The first one tells it to replace tabs by spaces, the second that a tab
should be 4 characters, which I find to be a comfortable indenting level
- 2 spaces doesn't look clear enough, and 8 spaces gets pretty annoying
with more than one or two indents deep.
