Python (at least Python 3) has no concept of tab size. A tab is one
character, and how an editor or terminal or whatever chooses to display
it has nothing to do with Python. If you want to convert tabs to a
specific number of spaces or vice versa, there are multiple tools out
there you can use. In fact, many editors have the functionality built in.

Use all tabs or use all spaces. Any editor that isn't broken will let
you do either without problems.
