I am in AP's camp on the tab issue, but I think we can preserve "tab inserts 
tab" behavior at the continuation prompt.  I don't like "indent at beginning of 
line."  I have rlcompleter enabled in Python 2.6 and i get the following when I 
press tab:

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Feb 22 2013, 00:00:18)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> <tab>

AttributeError(             and                         intern(
BaseException(              any(                        is

I find this rather useful.

At the ... prompt, however, a tab (or better four spaces) is arguably the right 
completion at the beginning of the line.
