Hmm... That's an editor configuration problem. You may want to report
it to developer (bugs at vim dot org), you may have better luck than I
did sometime ago. BTW, you may want to pose this question in the vim
users mailing list, a more appropriate forum, I'd believe. Check
http://vim.sourceforge.net/.

In the meantime you might want to use the following ftplugin (for the
benefit os those who only search c.l.p.'s archive):

---begin python_pep8.vim
if exists("did_python_pep8")
	finish
else
	let did_python_pep8=1
endif
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=4
set softtabstop=4
set expandtab
set textwidth=80
---end python_pep8.vim
