See, eg. stackoverflow.com/questions/14527902/vim-as-a-python-ide/…, stackoverflow.com/questions/10278560/… and sontek.net/blog/detail/turning-vim-into-a-modern-python-ide. A quick google search will turn up lots of useful information.Pascal Bugnion– Pascal Bugnion2013-09-05 08:15:28 +00:00Commented Sep 5, 2013 at 8:15

Python wiki suggests putting the following in your ~/.vimrc:
syntax on
filetype indent plugin on
set tabstop=8
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
Edit: the above does have the side-effect of using the tab settings in all files edited with vim. Other approaches are discussed in the wiki as well.
There's also the python.vim script for syntax highlighting and such.

The two first line should be at the top of every
/.vimrc but the other ones are somewhat python-specific. As such, they should be in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim with setlocal instead of set.You should put customized settings in to ~/.vim/ftplugin/python.vim This will be sourced when vim sees a file with a filetype python.
To make sure the settings only affect the current buffer use setlocal.
To make sure that mappings only affect the current buffer use noremap <buffer>
Just make sure to have filetype plugin indent on in ~/.vimrc
