If you use Eclipse as your IDE, you should take a look at PyDev; it handles indentation and spacing automatically. You can copy-paste from mixed-spacing sources, and it will convert them for you. Since I started learning the language, I've never once had to think about spacing.
And it's really a non-issue; sane programmers indent anyway. With Python, you just do what you've always done, minus having to type and match braces.
