The mode that's *not* part of Emacs. Correct?

I use python.el shipped as part of Emacs and I get the behaviour which
you prefer. I looked through python-mode.el and found a few comment
related settings that you can tweak which change indentation etc. for
comments. They're all there in the customize-mode buffer for the mode. I
tweaked them a little but couldn't see any obvious changes but I think
it has to do with the positions of point and mark in my buffer. You
could try those. python-honour-comment-indentation mainly.
