Tabs are how many spaces?

3 or 4. I'd use tabs though, is that the standard? Tabs?

In python it's 4 spaces to a tab,

You can tab in any editor as long as it replaces the \t with 4 actual spaces.

Other safe practice. Don't let a line be over 79 characters in length.

Thanks for the tips, reading some Django stuff now. Any resources to recommend?

djangosnippets has some good snippets of code to look at, good way to learn how people do things with django, also the django cook book.
