Hm... sounds very reasonable.  But I think it would be useless in the
current state of Python: most code is already written like what you prefer
not to have.  When you have to merge code, you'll always find that some of
them are in the old style and some in the new style.

I'd rather suggest to have a Python-specific indentation command in Emacs
that will "reindent a region in a way that fits the current indentation
style and fit in the current context, but retain the original meaning".
This really shouldn't be that difficult.  Anyone will try his elisp skills?

Isaac.
