Prevent vscode automatic add two space after enter in python file

I am writing python code in vscode, after an expression, each time I hit enter to start a new line, it will automatic add one space for the newline.

Instead, what I really want is the starting new line would be aligned with the start of the statement, i.e:

def fun():
    arg = 'fake'
    cursor should be aligned with arg

Now what I got is the cursor is one space of the start. I searched and couldn't find out where to set this, the Tab Size is 4 space.

I still don't find out the causing issue, but on my project I solved it by setting black path to my absolute path. The answers provided below is not the reason why it doesn't work in my vscode. I attached the pic here.My vscode shortcut

Open the command palette with Ctrl+Shift+P, type in Indent with spaces, press Enter and select 4.
