In the future you might want to expand/explain why you like something - it would most likely make it easier to help or give tips.
You probably could do it with wx.TextCtrl with a custom handler for EVT_CHAR, but you might want to look at the wx.RichTextCtrl or wx.StyledTextCtrl instead.

ok,
i’ve created a text editor so i can use it in my programme to ask the user to input text that i will use,
the text inputted should not have tabs (\t), and i want theses tabs to be converted to spaces spontaneaousyl when typing or the text being copy/pasted
thank you.

StyledTextCtrl is used by a few programs as editor (especially IDE's, like Editra, Boa ...), it would probably be a better match for your use case then TextCtrl, but I would also look at RichTextCtrl, I think it is targeted at at text editing.

wxPython 2.6 is very very very very old (about 8 years!!!), as you are starting with a project you should use wxPython 3.0x or at least nothing older then 2.8.12.1 which is by the way already 4 years old!

This is a trickier operation than you might expect. How many spaces do
you expect it to be? Are you going to allow the user to set the tab
interval, or will it be fixed? And if your font is proportional, then
you can't really use spaces. You need to use inches or cm.
I'm just saying there may not be a simple answer; there are aspects to
this you need to think about.

IIRC we used wx.stc for internal editor since wxPython v2.4
