Personally, I use auto-mode-alist to make Emacs choose the indent
configuration to use automatically.
Here's how it looks like for me:
(defmacro def-styled-c-mode (name style &rest body)
"Define styled C modes."
`(defun ,name ()
(interactive)
(c-mode)
(c-set-style ,style)
,@body))
(def-styled-c-mode python-c-mode "python"
(setq indent-tabs-mode t
tab-width 8
c-basic-offset 8))
(def-styled-c-mode py3k-c-mode "python"
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil
tab-width 4
c-basic-offset 4))
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append '(("/python.org/python/.*\\.[ch]\\'" . python-c-mode)
("/python.org/.*/.*\\.[ch]\\'" . py3k-c-mode)) auto-mode-alist))
