Yep, it's just a matter of hitting spacebar until it looks right, but
you should also be aware that the Python Interpreter doesn't like it
if you mix tabs and spaces, so make sure you only use either one of
them. As an additional note, Python's style guideline says you should
use 4 spaces (additionally, most Python IDEs automatically convert
tabs into 4 spaces for convenience and to avoid mixing tabs and
cases).

PS: I'll mirror this to comp.lang.python
