Implementation notes

Not that I contribute much python code to the Lilypond project, but I have a question anyway:

I use vim for my own python code, and in my .vimrc file I have

set autoindent
set smartindent
filetype plugin indent on

I now write some pythoncode automatically tabs are used for indentation.
How can I change this behaviour, so that automatically 4-space indentation is used. Can/should I change something in my .vimrc file ?
