I don't think there is one.  Guido's style guide recommends using both,
with a tabsize of 8, so I expect most Pythonistas follow that style.  Yet,
for what it counts, I personally prefer setting my editors to always save
with spaces only (so _all_ tools will certainly see my source in just the
same way:-) and curse every time somebody posts code using tabs
(which some newsreading software hides completely from me)...
