This seems to be enough support to put an entry into PEP 361, which I've

Personally, I'd also find it useful to have such a thing in the stdlib,
since at the moment multiple processes are really the way to go for
parallelism in Python, and Python needs to stress this fact.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
