Sorry, this is currently not possible. Only the settings which are
listed in the filetype definition files(filetypes.python and so on) are
available.
As a workaround you could use two different configuration directories
for Geany. Maybe the default one in ~/.geany/ for usual files and a
another one, maybe ~/.geany_py for your python files.
Then start Geany as usual for normal files and start it with
geany -c ~/.geany_py/ for your python files. I know this is not a very
good solution but it would help for the moment.

Enrico
