This is cool if you always want your tabs expanded, but expanded tabs
suck (IMHO) in, say, C code.  So you can do this instead in your
~/.vimrc:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py set et

This sets an autocommand for files that end in ".py" to "set et".  Only
works if the file extension is ".py" obviously, but maybe there's
another way around that.
