See
:help 'copyindent'
:help 'preserveindent'
:help 'expandtab'
For Python, Vim forces hard tabs to 8 columns, because that's what the
Python standards say they are. You can still have "soft tabs" of a
different width, of course, or use 'expandtabs' to convert tabs to
spaces as you type them. Language-dependent settings of this kind are
usually set by a filetype-plugin.
See
:help ftplugins
:help filetype-plugins
