Re: [SPAM: 3.500] Re: [pygame] This one baffles me

You should use 4 spaces and no tabs. The only exception is when you are modifying old files that already are using tabs. new files should use 4 spaces per indentation level. 
You can read up on this kind of stuff in the python style guide:

    No cigar... not even close...

    from __future__ import with_statement

    with open ('perforce_plugin.py', 'r+w') as fh:
       fixed_tabs = fh.read().expandtabs(4)
       fh.seek(0)
       fh.write(fixed_tabs)

    *expandtabs*(s, tabsize=8)
       expandtabs
       <http://pydoc.org/1.6/string.html#-expandtabs>(s [,tabsize]) ->
    string
           Return a copy of the string s with all tab characters replaced
       by the appropriate number of spaces, depending on the current
       column, and the tabsize (default 8).
