In Notepad++, select Settings/Preferences.
There's a tab called "Language Menu/Tab Settings" (they've put the two
things on one tab to save space; the tab settings are on the right side.)
You'll find a setting for "Tab size"; the default is 4 - and also a
checkbox for "Replace by space", which is NOT checked by default.  If
you're going to be writing Python in Notepad++, you should _definitely_
check that box.
Click "Close", and off you go!
