Frank, try this:
$ locate python.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim74/indent/python.vim
/usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/python.vim
I'd say your issue is caused by the fact that all that three scripts
are loaded when you edit python files.
According to vim help (see :help filetypes) the "filetype plugin indent on"
command that you have enabled in /etc/vim/vimrc actually means the
following:
- vim tries to detect the type of the file that is edited (e.g. let's
suppose the file type is my_file_type)
- vim loads the appropriate plugin script:
/usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/my_file_type.vim
- vim loads the appropriate indent script:
/usr/share/vim/vim74/indent/my_file_type.vim
Moreover, if the syntax highlighting is enabled in vim (:syntax on)
then the appropriate syntax script is also loaded:
/usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/my_file_type.vim
In /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim I see the following line:
setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=8
So, it seems that /usr/share/vim/vim74/ftplugin/python.vim is loaded
last and overrides tabstop value set by other scripts.
--rpr.
