Good point. If you want to add to or modify the settings in that
file, _don't_modify_that_file_. Any changes you make to that file
may be lost the next time you update Vim. Instead, put your
settings into an after plugin you create, in this case,
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim. Also, for filetype-specific
settings, you should use setlocal rather than set, e.g.,

setlocal tabstop=4
setlocal softtabstop=4
setlocal shiftwidth=4
setlocal textwidth=79
setlocal expandtab
setlocal autoindent
setlocal fileformat=unix

See:

:help ftplugin-overrule

The above will work fine, but to do it "right", the after/ftplugin
file should look like this:

let s:save_cpo = &cpo
set cpo-=C

setlocal tabstop=4
setlocal softtabstop=4
setlocal shiftwidth=4
setlocal textwidth=79
setlocal expandtab
setlocal autoindent
setlocal fileformat=unix

let b:undo_ftplugin = (exists("b:undo_ftplugin") ? b:undo_ftplugin . "|" : "")
\ . "setlocal tabstop< softtabstop< shiftwidth< textwidth< expandtab< autoindent< fileformat<"

let &cpo = s:save_cpo
unlet s:save_cpo

See:

:help undo_ftplugin
:help filetype-plugin
:help use-cpo-save
