[expandtab]

I tend to use the following line at the end of my Python files:

  # vim: tabstop=4 expandtab shiftwidth=4

I think this makes virtually all tab instances soft and equivalent to
4 spaces in vim/gvim. Having been a "hard tab user" for years, I
finally switched to soft tabs out of compatibility with just about
everything else written in Python - oh, the shame!
