The workflow here would be to call newline-and-indent, commonly C-j
With TAB python-mode increments one step until outmost indent.
From outmost first TAB does nothing - thus reminding user pos is outmost already.
A second TAB would jump to col 0.
From outmost stepping down one level <backspace> seems convenient.
