问题
I'm using Visual Studio Code (not Visual Studio) on Linux and I can't seem to find out how to turn on auto-indentation for Python. I've looked all over preferences, spent some time on Google, and can't find anything.
Does anyone know how to do this?

In VS Code you can set the indentation in several places :
- General/Workspace settings (bottom bar),
- User settings,
- language formatter settings.
When using Python, no matter what settings you set, all of them are overridden by the autopep8Args value of the autopep8 language formatter setting, which has an indent size of 4.
By default, autopep8 is used as VS Code Python formatter, but there are others, like yapf.
To update the indent size of this formatter, search in your user settings the "python.formatting.autopep8Args" and set it to : ["--indent-size=2"],
"python.formatting.autopep8Args": ["--indent-size=2"],

Visual Studio Code doesn't have much support for Python (yet), aside from syntax-highlighting, and per-file intellisense (meaning it'll provide suggestions for symbols that have been found within the current file).
I'm willing to bet that the Visual Studio Code team will, eventually, increase their support for Python within Visual Studio Code, and with this, they'll likely add support for auto-indentation.
In the meantime, it might be worth trying this Visual Studio Code extension, which aims to add better support for Python, into Visual Studio Code.
The extension does add auto-indentation for Python, to Visual Studio Code, along with many other features.
Happy scripting!
