Summary: strange tab key behavior for newer python constructs

Initial Comment:
If you paste this into a python-mode buffer and then
put the cursor on the second line and hit tab
repeatedly, you'll get strange (non-idempotent) behavior.

print >> log, '\t'.join([ form[x].value
                          for x in ('name',
'institution', 'email') ])

That is by design.  It's supposed to cycle back through the
tab stops
until you reach column 1, after which the next TAB press
reindents
the line.  This allows you to adjust the indentation of
nested lines a bit
easier.

If this is a problem and you can suggest better behavior,
feel free to
reopen the ticket.
