A useful addition to Python source files is this comment:
# vim: tabstop=8 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4

This may need the modeline option enabled in your ~/.vimrc file:
set modeline
(In Debian and Ubuntu, for example, the modeline option has been disabled for security reasons.)

The above # vim: ... text, when embedded in a source file, tells Vim that when the file is loaded, tabs are always expanded to spaces and that the width of each tab is four characters. Type the following in command mode to achieve the same effect:

:set tabstop=8 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4

Or:
:set ts=8 et sw=4 sts=4


... An alternative method is adding...

set tabstop=8
set expandtab
set softtabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
filetype indent on
...to your ~/.vimrc file.
[but this will effect other types of files such as .js, .php, .c ...]

add the following to ~/.vim/ftplugin/python.vim. Create the directory and/or file if it does not already exist.

set tabstop=8
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4

if there is a filetype plugin distributed with Vim that you want to completely disable, make your own (perhaps empty) settings file and adding this line:

ftplugin: file type plugin
--> http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/File_type_plugins

"""...
A file type plugin (ftplugin) is a script that is run automatically
when Vim detects the type of file when the file is created or opened.

The type can be detected from the file name (for example, file sample.c has file type c),
or from the file contents.


...
to disable all ftplugins, or disable a particular default ftplugin,
see :help :filetype and :help ftplugin-overrule.
