Incorrect re-indentation

[Barry Warsaw]

Start with this code:

def foo():
    if a == 1:
        x = 7
    if b == 2

with point right after the '2'. Now hit : and watch the line get re-indented to line up under the 'x'. This should not happen since I just explicitly dedented it when I started the line.

Hi Barry,

the rationale of smart-indentation is: "go to the outmost reasonable indent"

C-u :

should DTRT

It does, but I still don't think that's correct, since it's much more
difficult to type. I'm not sure exactly what the rule should be, but this is
the one current thing that drives me crazy. :)

so M-x py-smart-indentation-off

or M-x customize-variable RET py-smart-indentation

might save you :)

BTW maybe should set `py-smart-indentation' default to nil?

The curious thing around: AFAIS beginners expect this feature.
