If you add the normally redundant information in the form of explicit 
dedents (anything starting with '#' and distinguishable from normal 
comments), then it is not too hard to re-indent even after all indents 
have been removed. I believe this has been dome more than once. By using 
a stylized comment, the augmented code runs without preprocessing. I 
also believe at lease one person has written a preprocessor for 
'python-with-braces'.
