In emacs, tab is 'indent-line', which gives the line "correct"
indentation. Occasionally one needs to dedent a line manually to close
a block. Pressing <enter> puts the cursor in the right place
immediately (indenting on ':', dedenting on 'return').

if 1:
                       hui();

If I press tab on line with hui(), the result is

if 1:
    hui();

Yes, and that made the difference.
