On Solaris:
User Commands expand(1)
NAME
expand, unexpand - expand TAB characters to SPACE charac-
ters, and vice versa
SYNOPSIS

expand [ -tabstop ] [ -tab1,tab2,...,tabn ] [ file... ]
unexpand [ -a ] [ -t tablist ] [ file... ]
DESCRIPTION
expand copies files (or the standard input) to the standard
output, with TAB characters expanded to SPACE characters.
[...]
And on Linux:
EXPAND(1) EXPAND(1)
NAME
expand - convert tabs to spaces
SYNOPSIS
expand [-tab1[,tab2[,...]]] [-t tab1[,tab2[,...]]] [-i]
[--tabs=tab1[,tab2[,...]]] [--initial] [--help] [--ver-
sion] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
[...]
This manual page documents the GNU version of expand.
expand writes the contents of each given file, or the
standard input if none are given or when a file named `-'
is given, to the standard output, with tab characters con-
verted to the appropriate number of spaces. By default,
expand converts all tabs to spaces.
[...]
I expect the latter, which is of course GNU expand, is available for
(maybe part of) Cygwin. I don't think it's written in Python, though.
