I haven't seen the gyrus' code in a while, so pick my comments
with a grain of salt.

IMVHO, autotools is too painful for a Python program.

distutils (well used) is supposed to be easier and safer:
http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html

But I saw it was used previously.

setuptools are supposed to be even easier and safer 
than distutils:

The Python Style Code is defined in PEP-8:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

For vim, I use:

if has("autocmd")
    autocmd FileType python set shiftwidth=4 tabstop=4 expandtab
    autocmd FileType python set textwidth=79

    autocmd FileType python set foldmethod=indent
    autocmd FileType python let python_highlight_all=1
    autocmd FileType python set encoding=utf-8
    autocmd FileType python set autoindent

    autocmd FileType python set complete+=k/home/gpoo/bin/pydiction isk
+=.,(

    highlight BadWhitespace ctermbg=red guibg=red
    autocmd FileType python syntax match BadWhitespace /\s\+$/
    autocmd FileType python syntax match BadWhitespace /\t\+/
endif

You can get pydiction (for autocomplete) from:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=850

And for changing every tab for 4 spaces, just :retab

A patch was filed
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524244

But still is not PEP-8 compliant.
