I indent my Perl code. Not everyone does, however. It's a trivial task to reformat it in an editor. But in Python, you don't even have to worry about other people not indenting their code! I guess the only complaint I might have is why bother thinking about indentation, ever? Throw in a couple of {} and now the tools can provide additional help. When you edit Python, the tools can already help as much. The start of a block is obvious (def, if, for, etc), so tools indent for you. To dedent, just hit the right key (e.g. a backspace on an empty line in emacs) -- no harder than hitting the brace key.
