    bboman> If you do this, Emacs (in python-mode) will autoindent for you
    bboman> as you type.  Now when you copy a block, all you have do is
    bboman> press TAB at the beginning of each line and the indentation is
    bboman> corrected.  The indent-region DOES NOT WORK FOR THIS, you have
    bboman> to indent one line at a time (this could be fixed by editing
    bboman> python-model.el).

Have you tried py-shift-region-(left|right) (C-c < and C-c >)?  No extra

select it (perhaps twice to make sure your cursor is at the start of the
block), then one of the above pairs to move the block left or right as
