Well, yes. But the style guide was written for plain C, in which the program logic starts at the first indentation in functions. In Python you have very different characteristics, and have to adapt styles. You should not get deeper than 3 logic indentations on function level there either, though. And from my experience, 8 character tabs (with the article you cited actually starts with) are still workable in Python, at least for me.
