Execute this code block

#+BEGIN_SRC python :session :results value
  def int2str(i):
      digits = "0123456789"
      if i == 0:
          return "0"
      else:
          result = ""
          while i > 0:
              result = digits[i % 10] + result
              i = i // 10
          return result


  int2str(123)
#+END_SRC

I get lots of IndentationError in *Python*

By the way, the implementation of ob-python.el is not very robust. For
example, it contains

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(dolist (line (split-string body "[\r\n]"))
  ;; Insert a blank line to end an indent
  ;; block.
  ...)
#+END_SRC

it looks very strange to me, since Emacs Lisp doesn't understand Python
code, for example, it might end up inserting a newline within a Python
string.  And another inconvenience is non-session code block requires
'return' but session code block does not, in my opinion, requiring a
'return' is a very bad idea since by inserting a 'return', the python
code will be invalid.  I suggest someone who is familiar with Org &
Python to review the implementation of ob-python.el, I guess python.el
already has exiting solution on how to sending a block of python code to
comint-mode, and elpy-shell.el[1] also knows how to capture return value
of a python code block. More elegant and reliable solution might already
exists.

Hi Chunyang,

This bug was introduced by commit 1966d58b2, which “fixed” another
problematic case of indentation.  Because of issues like this, ob-python
has never really worked reliably (in my experience)

The only sensible way I can see to evaluate python code from emacs
without hitting these kinds of errors is to use jupyter (formerly
ipython).  You might try the ob-ipython or ob-ein libraries and see if
they work for you.  (The latter is part of ein, which provides lots of
integration emacs <-> jupyter, and not only for org-babel).  Disclaimer:
I havenʼt used either of these libraries personally, so I donʼt know how
well they will work for you.

Yes, we need help for this.
