I don't understand what you expect emacs 'indent-region' to do. With token-delimited languages, it will re-do the indentation of a block with respect to the first selected line. That's possible because for C et al. indentation can be deduced from keywords and block delimiters. That's simply not possible with Python because indentation _is_ the delimiters. Expecting Python to know how your code is supposed to be indented would be like entering a block of C code with no curly braces and then expecting emacs to know where to insert them so that the code does what you want. You can increase/decrease indentation by selecting a block and hitting C-c < or C-c >. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
