It's completely wrong to use setq-default here, so I'd be curious
to know from where you got the idea ?
Instead, you want to use

   ...
   (set (make-local-variable 'py-continuation-offset) 8)
   ...

since you only want to set those variables in the particular buffer
that uses cs-python-mode rather than in all buffers.

PS: Maybe it's time for setq-local.
