Neovim Automatically Uses 4 Spaces Instead of Tabs for Python

Title says it all. How can I change this behaviour, so that the indentation is always a tab character and not 4 spaces?

I don't get the same issue when not editing python files. Not that I edit many different file types, but I can at least confirm for c, plaintext and tex (as in LaTeX).

Using version 0.4.4 from the Gentoo repos.
