My text editor shows whitespace when text is highlighted. I think it's configurable to have it show whitespace all the time, but this is annoying. I'm using Sublime Text.
Here's a tip for vim: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_unwanted_spaces
If you are super cool like Dan Smith and use emacs, you can do it this way: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ShowWhiteSpace
Just use emacs' python mode (usually the default when editing .py files). It will keep you out of trouble, consistently writing out only spaces so you don't need to look at the white space. You can use the tab key to indent, but it will actually just insert the appropriate number of spaces.
