Also for Python you really will want an editor that supports indenting. Web browsers are not suitable for programming Python.
Though indenting is mandatory for Python, the use or reasonable indenting is pretty much necessary to produce readable code in any language.
That said, I don't see any reason we couldn't use two or three consecutive spaces to indicate indentations.
Four!
Four is the default size of a tab in Python, but indents aren't actually required to be that size. If we are required to type consecutive spaces to format code, I'd actually prefer a smaller default size.
