do people really complain about significant whitespace?

OK, my python-mode.el was older, so I upgraded to 4.75, but it still
doesn't work. Did you mean that after you write

if x==1:

the newline is inserted automatically when you type ":"? That's a
functionality I would like to see, but it doesn't seem to work this
way.

Anyway, I am using python.el most of the time and it doesn't have that
functionality yet.
