This one does one big problem IF you get a file from someone else that
has mixed tabs and spaces. And is using a tabsize of the standard 8
spaces. Then in combination with Python you by editing the code you
actually does changes the sysntax of the file. Then I don't see the huge
difference to change into :set sts=4 et if thats what you actually
whan't.

The difference between ts and sts is just that ts works on \t
charachters imported in the files to, and sts doesn't. Setting ts
without et is definitly wrong. Setting it with et just look wrong, but
doesn't hurt so many else. (Or hopefully don't...)
