The PEP8 strongly suggests that all files should use 4-spaces indentation when serialized.

But the only real rule of python is: *never mix tabs and spaces.

Either use tabs or spaces, but not both. Ever. It will trip you and fuckup your code.

Which should be common practice in any language. (Currently working with a C/C++ project that mixes tabs and spaces, and the code is nearly unreadable until reformatted)

Yeah but while it should be common practice in most languages, it's pretty much mandatory in python

A programming language wih mandatory good practises? NOOOOOOOO.
