Indenting in Emacs

[eugene.morozov@gmail.com]

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make python-mode correctly indent nested lists
and dictionaries. I hate indenting Django url patterns and Zope
Archetypes schemas by hand, because python-mode indents them in
incorrect and ugly way.

Here's how it should be:
StringField('re ference',
widget=StringWi dget(
description='Po sition reference'
)),

Here's how python-mode indents this code:
schema = BaseSchema.copy () + Schema((
StringField('re ference',
widget=StringWi dget(
description='Po sition reference'
)),

I can provide examples of how ugly it indents nested dictionaries/
lists/tuples, but I think that everyone using emacs already have seen
that.

py-version is 4.78

Are we doomed to manually indent python lists in Emacs?

I didn't find any patches fixing indentation in python-mode.

I'm using py-version "$Revision$ ." Oops! Anyway, try to install the
latest python-mode, whatever that is, if it isn't 4.78.

Ok. I'm not stupid but I do not see a 4.78 anywhere even though I see refs
from google. I have 4.75 The SVN tree doesn't seem to even have that.

I checked the latest copy out from sourceforge and that was 4.75 too.

Can someone please tell me where to find the latest?

It's from Emacs 22.

Note that's a different python-mode to the old one that lives on SF.
Yes, there are now two of them.

I've not noticed a big difference in usability.

I find indentation with the new mode very mildly more annoying than
the old mode. YMMV on that. There are probably annoyances with the
old mode that I've now forgotten about.

I'm told by an emacs developer at work that the new mode is more
emacsy in its implementation -- I don't know in what ways exactly, but
presumably that, plus the fact that the new mode is included with
emacs 22, will mean that it's likely to work better with other emacs
code (not that I ever had much problem with the old mode -- but then I
didn't push it very far).
