Tabs and spaces confusion can be fixed by setting your editor to use spaces instead of tabs.

To make whitespace completely intuitive, you can use a stronger code editor or an IDE (though you don't need a full-blown IDE if all you need is proper automatic code indenting).

A list of editors can be found in the Python wiki, though that one is a bit too exhausting: - http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors

There's already a question in here which tries to slim that down a bit:

Maybe you should add a more specific question on that: "Which Python editor or IDE do you prefer on Windows - and why?"
