Right. What is your justification for wanting this to be 4?
Python generally discourages tabs, but when they are present, seems to
follow the historical convention mapping them to 8 spaces. Eg

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#indentation

    Tabs are replaced (from left to right) by one to eight spaces such
    that the total number of characters up to and including the
    replacement is a multiple of eight (this is intended to be the same
    rule as used by Unix).
