I never use tab characters in python-mode. I have it set so that TAB will
really insert 4 spaces since those are our coding guidelines. This must be
some sort of bug (I have posted at stackoverflow too:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33283860/emacs-24-5-python-mode-stock-version-vs-6-2-1
since I was having a hard time posting on gmane).

Thank you for your response.

When I load python-mode from 6.2.1 indentation works, but 6.2.1 IMO contains
regressions that I just do not want. I was thinking about just hacking my
own indentation function - easy when you are indenting from col 0, but there
is complexity when dealing with non col 0 and auto indentation.

Here is my snippet of .emacs:

(c-set-offset 'inline-open '0) ; This one because of indentation INSIDE
class def
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq-default tab-width 3)
(setq indent-line-function 'insert-tab)
(setq-default c-basic-offset 3)
(setq-default sh-basic-offset 4)
(setq-default sh-indentation 4)
(setq-default python-indent-offset 4)
(setq-default c-default-style "linux")
(setq c-default-style
      '((java-mode . "java")
        (awk-mode . "awk")
        (other . "linux")))
