The correct answer is to use 8 character tabs. Sure they are wider than they need to be, but they ''work''. Anyone who tries to tell you that tabs should be whatever else they feel like (2? 4? 5? 6?) needs to be shot. Especially if they ever think that their code is going to be viewed by anyone else, so unless you are writing a proprietary program and never planning on giving the code away or ever showing it to anyone, don't change the tab size.
Of course, if everyone just used python then it wouldn't matter.

You can use 4 character tabs and feel fine all along. More importantly, so will the people who open your files.
The key to this state of mind is simple: __''don't use tabs ANYWHERE but the beginning of the line!!''__
