Add python configuration for editorconfig

As it currently is, python files are formatted using the general rules
in .editorconfig - this means that 8-character hard tabs are used, which
is not the recommended behaviour according to the PEP-8 standard.  This
patch correct this, and additionally limits the line length to 79
characters as required by the standard.
