Indeed vi (or in my case, vim) works wonderfully well with python.  I
always use the following vim settings on python files:


set sw=4
set ts=8
set softtabstop=4
set expandtab
set ai

If you set up a conditional thing in your vimrc to enable these settings
for python files, you shouldn't have any more tab problems.
