That's the purpose of:

,----[ C-h v electric-indent-inhibit RET ]
| electric-indent-inhibit is a variable defined in `electric.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
|   Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
| 
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, reindentation is not appropriate for this buffer.
| This should be set by major modes such as `python-mode' since
| Python does not lend itself to fully automatic indentation.
`----

In the current trunk, `python-mode' sets that to t.
