Not really. Indention in python conveys blocks so there is no way
anything automatic could determine where blocks end. Its just like
asking if you could have something automatically insert parenthesis
everywhere they are needed.

It depends what exactly you mean. I use Textpad and they have an
"indent selected block" feature.

It depends on what you mean by "not indented properly". Indentation is
part of the Python grammar.

If the script compiles OK, and works as expected, but you have (say)
4-space indent in parts, and 3-space in other parts, or a mixture of
tabs and spaces, you could use the supplied reindent script. It's
C:\Python25\Too ls\Scripts\rein dent.py on my machine. Do read the
documentation at the start of the script before you run it.

If you mean that the indentation is just plain wrong, such that the
script will not compile without error, or incorrect indentation of one
or more lines is causing incorrect results, then you will have to fix
it manually. There is no "artificial intelligence" that can work out
what the indentation should be.

HTH,
John

FWIW the Zeus for Windows IDE will fold Pyhon code:

http://www.zeusedit.com/features.html

With the code folded you can then select the folded line and
using 'tab'/'shift tab' Zeus will indent/re-indent all the
lines contained in the fold.

It is not an automatic re-indenting solution but it might be
better than nothing ;)

Dynamic hanging indent

by: Harlan Messinger | last post by:

A publication style guide indicates that for a table heading like the following, Table 3. Wheat and rye harvest in European countries in years that end in 3 or 7 or when a new prime minister takes office. when the heading flows over more than one line, a hanging indent should be used, such that the remainder of the heading should be left-aligned, in this example, with "Wheat", leaving "Table 3. " standing off by itself on the left.

Auto Formatting (?) not working in one solution
