You should use 4 spaces and no tabs. The only exception is when you are
modifying old files that already are using tabs. new files should use 4 spaces
per indentation level.
You can read up on this kind of stuff in the python style guide:

with an arrow) so i can see where i've accidentally used spaces.

No cigar... not even close...
from __future__ import with_statement
with open ('perforce_plugin.py', 'r+w') as fh:
fixed_tabs = fh.read().expandtabs(4)
fh.seek(0)
fh.write(fixed_tabs)
*expandtabs*(s, tabsize=8)
expandtabs
<http://pydoc.org/1.6/string.html#-expandtabs>(s [,tabsize]) ->
string
Return a copy of the string s with all tab characters replaced
by the appropriate number of spaces, depending on the current
column, and the tabsize (default 8).
