Personally, I prefer tabs for theoretical reasons and spaces for
practical ones. I think that the world would be better off if we all
standardised on tabs instead of spaces, but since that's not going to
happen, I can interoperate better with the mass of broken tools out
there, and with other people, by using spaces.
At work, since we have a fairly small core of developers, we
standardized on tabs - mainly because of a couple of devs who
disagreed on how much indentation looked right (I'm of the opinion
that 1 space is insufficient), and having tab characters in the file
allows us to configure our editors differently. I'm definitely in
favour of using tabs where possible, but if you can't close your
environment, spaces are far safer.

Oo, thou sinner, fancy violating PEP 8 and standardising on tabs.
OTOH if that's your standard and you stick to it fine.
What I can't stand is the "I've always done it this way an I ain't movin
jus cos sum standard says so" attitude.
Yes I have seen this in real life and the person responsible should be
sacked.
