emacs 23 python.el auto-indent style -- can this be configured? -

i have been using emacs 23 (python.el) on month , i'm unhappy default auto-indentation settings.

currently, python files auto-indented follows:

x = a_function_with_dict_parameter({                                    'test' : 'here value',                                    'second' : 'another value',                                    }) a_function_with_multiline_parameters(on='first', line='line',                                      now_on='second', next_line='line',                                      next='third', finally='line') 

i prefer if set auto-indentation settings same code formatted:

x = a_function_with_dict_parameter({     'test' : 'here value',     'second' : 'another value', }) a_function_with_multiline_parameters(on='first', line='line',     now_on='second', next_line='line', next='third', finally='line') 

it seems logic how i'd auto-indentation perform be:

if last character (non-comment/whitespace) of previous line :, increase indent-level 1. else, use same indentation level.

but using logic, tab need increase indent-level of current line. (currently, tab moves line auto-indent level)

does know how can modify emacs auto-indentation achieve desired style?

you can try peace of code :

(require 'python)  ; indentation (defadvice python-calculate-indentation (around outdent-closing-brackets)   "handle lines beginning closing bracket , indent them   line line containing corresponding opening bracket." (save-excursion   (beginning-of-line)   (let ((syntax (syntax-ppss)))     (if (and (not (eq 'string (syntax-ppss-context syntax)))              (python-continuation-line-p)              (cadr syntax)              (skip-syntax-forward "-")              (looking-at "\\s)"))         (progn           (forward-char 1)           (ignore-errors (backward-sexp))           (setq ad-return-value (current-indentation)))       ad-do-it))))  (ad-activate 'python-calculate-indentation) 

now, simple python dict :

a = {'foo': 'bar',      'foobar': 'barfoo'     } 

becomes...

a = {'foo': 'bar',      'foobar': 'barfoo' }
