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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
