What if you stayed with tabs and then added a converter, so that you can quickly convert the tabs to the number of spaces that you want?  In fact, this might be a good idea for a lot of free source Python projects distributed on the web -- though I would suspect it would be better to use tabs as the default and offer the ability to convert to space because sometimes it's possible it might not look quite right converting a project coded for spaces to tabs.
