Who are the "spacists"?

In emacs' Python mode, if I have entered:

========================================================================
env.SharedLibrary('custom', [ 'a.c',
▯
========================================================================

and press Tab, the cursor moves to the right position:

========================================================================
env.SharedLibrary('custom', [ 'a.c',
                              ▯
========================================================================

Now, pressing Backspace once (or Tab once more), I get:

========================================================================
env.SharedLibrary('custom', [ 'a.c',
                            ▯
========================================================================

After a second Backspace (or a third Tab):

========================================================================
env.SharedLibrary('custom', [ 'a.c',
                        ▯
========================================================================

and so on, 4 columns at a time.

I have told emacs not to use HT characters.
