I want to start using Python for small projects but the fact that a misplaced tab or indent can throw a compile error is really getting on my nerves. Is there some type of setting to turn this off?
I'm currently using NotePad++. Is there maybe an IDE that would take care of the tabs and indenting?

Python Indentation Rules The first line of python code cannot have an indentation. Indentation is mandatory in python to define the blocks of statements. The number of spaces must be uniform in a block of code. It is preferred to use whitespaces instead of tabs to indent in python.
Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line. Where in other programming languages the indentation in code is for readability only, the indentation in Python is very important. Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.
Indentation is essential in Python; it replaces curly braces, semi-colons, etc. in C-like syntax.
The answer is no.
At least, not until something like the following is implemented:
from __future__ import braces
No. Indentation-as-grammar is an integral part of the Python language, for better and worse.
