Probably the python filetype plugin is setting a tabstop for you, which as Gary 
says I think is intentional. The filetype plugin says:

" As suggested by PEP8.
setlocal expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 tabstop=8

If you don't like that, then set up a FileType autocmd to fix it:

autocmd FileType python setlocal tabstop=8
