Filetype based indent setting

After years of working primarily in C where I used an indent setting of 
2, I'm now also starting to use Python.  Although not rigidly enforced 
if indenting is consistent, the recommended standard seems to be 4 
characters.  I know that buffer options can override global options but 
I haven't found any way to set indent width based on filetype.  So for 
the time being I've been manually setting the buffer options every time 
I edit a Python script - usually after I tab the first time and find the 
width isn't what I need.  I tried searching through the archives but 
wasn't able to come up with anything relevant.  Is such a thing 
possible?  If not, is it on a roadmap for a future release?

Also, no editor meets everyone's needs perfectly, but I've found that 
jEdit is the best cross-platform editor I've ever used. Thanks to 
everyone who has helped make it possible.
