Auto-indent for Python spotty

When writing certain Python code, auto-indent/de-indent fails to properly indent/de-indent lines as expected. For example, if I write:

if myVar == 1:
    print("This is equal to 1")
else:
    print ("This is not equal to 1")

The editor fails to automatically indent the "else" statement. it should be able to detect that I am entering an "else" statement and properly handle indentation and de-indentation. The same issue occurs on try/except blocks.

try:
    subprocess.check_output("someprogram.exe")
except CalledProcessException:
    print("The process failed.")

The editor should be able to detect when it sees the except block starter and properly de--indent the code as expected. As it stands, both the if/else and try/except blocks look like this when entered into the editor:

if myvar == 1:
    print("This is equal to 1")
    else:
        print("This is not equal to 1")

I think #2272 addresses the bigger problem that's causing indentation issues across all languages. Solving that should automatically take care of such issues. I could be wrong though.

This should be reported to the Python repository first.
