all versions of python fail to indent after conditional statement

[Joe Pfeiffer]

It's not a bug, it's a design choice you are disagreeing with:  managing
indentation is your job, not the interpreter's.  For anything other than
an absolutely trivial three-line script, I write in an editor that does
a good job helping me manage indentation (in my case, emacs in Python
mode).
