That is no option for Python. In Python, it is part of the LANGUAGE
SYNTAX that a tab is 8 columns. Changing that may change the very
meaning of a Python program (i.e. an editor configured to four column
tabs may render a program to MEAN something different than when
formatted to eight column tabs).
So a tab is 8 columns, period.

I think you should get a different editor then. I press tab in my
editor and still get four spaces.

That's negligible, compared to the rest of the file. |
