The following works for me;

set filetype

au FileType python set ts=4
au FileType python set sw=4
au FileType python set expandtab
au FileType python set ff=unix

'py' should be 'python', see /usr/share/vim/vim56/filetype.vim to 
see how how the command 'filetype' is processed, and 'expandtab' 
does not need the following 'on'.
