Is there a language like Python but without the tab requirement?
Potentially many, or potentially very few. When you say "a language like Python," what do you mean? What qualities does Python have that you want in another language? The interpreted nature? The dynamic type system? The existence of list comprehensions?
What would you prefer instead of tab indentation, to determine scopes? C-style curly brackets?
I get that significant white-space is weird for those used to curly-braces langauges, but why the resistance to such cosmetic differences when clearly you see the value in Python for its other merits? Isn't that a bit like refusing to learn to drive in a foreign country where they happen to install their steering wheels on the side opposite of what you're used to?
Sure if feels non-ergonomic for awhile, but it starts to feel natural before you know it.

Interpreted? Sure.
Dynamic types? Yes.
List comprehenisions? Yes.
Functional and Object-Oriented capabilities? Yes.

Anything but tabs.
You are, I take it, aware that tabs are very frowned upon in the python community?Anything but tabs.
Most people use spaces instead.

Obviously, I have been misinformed. I thought that tabs were the way one indents in Python therefore scoping variables, methods, classes, and other constructs.
