I guess adding the following to your .emacs should work (not properly
tested):

(defun my-python-key-hook ()
  (define-key py-mode-map "\C-j" '(lambda () (interactive)
                                    (py-newline-and-indent)
                                    (py-electric-backspace 1)))
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my-python-key-hook)
