Summary: Better nesting of data structures

Initial Comment:
Currently, python-mode produces unpleasant results when
a statement has multiple open braces at the end of a
line.  

Normally, when a open brace/bracket/parenthesis ends a
line, the following line is indented relative to the
first by py-indent-offset characters.  However, when
another such open brace is nested inside the first, the
indentation of the following line remains relative to
the first line of the statement.

We would like nested data structures to be indented
like this:

a = {
    "b1": {
        "c2": 1,
        }
    }

However, python-mode does this:

a = {
    "b1": {
    "c2": 1,
    }
    }


The supplied patch changes the indent calculation to
account for nesting of braces.  I've been using it for
awhile without problem.  I run GNU Emacs 21.4.1 on
Debian Linux.

The patch uses an undocumented tenth return value
parse-partial-sexp, so I suspect it might not work in
some versions of Emacs.  I hope I didn't break any
etiquette by posting the patch without checking this,
but I wanted to get it out there.
