There's a tab called "Language Menu/Tab Settings" (they've put the two things on one tab to save space; the tab settings are on the right side.) You'll find a setting for "Tab size"; the default is 4 - and also a checkbox for "Replace by space", which is NOT checked by default. If you're going to be writing Python in Notepad++, you should _definitely_ check that box. Click "Close", and off you go!
