23.3.x and python.el. It's very stock. What function does C-S-backspace give you? I see kill-whole-line on my install. Once I am writing in a block, the indents work fine, but... I can't paste something into a block and whack the 'reformat all' to come out correctly, especially if it has multiple levels of indentation. Since my code gets reworked substantially while I'm in the middle of it, this wastes my time. Braces are not noise...
