When you're in a blank line and press Enter, IMHO it would be better if
python.el kept the cursor column position, instead of restoring the last
non-blank line indentation level.
For example, say the cursor is X:
def f():
pass
X
When I press Enter most often I don't want to get:
def f():
pass
X
Instead, I think a more sensible default behaviour would be:
def f():
pass
X
That is, to keep the cursor vertical position. This is consistent with
the criterion of auto-indenting up to the indentation of last (both
blank or non-blank) line, except for the technicality that a blank last
line is not really indented... although you still have a point position
there to infer desired indentation for the new line.
Maybe this should be made a customizable option.
What do you think? I'll try to submit a patch later today.

Hi Carlos,
The functionality already exists, it's a matter of toggling
`electric-indent-mode` OR alternate between using RET and `C-j` for
creating a newline (depending the case).
When `electric-indent-mode` is enabled, you can achieve what you want by
using `C-j`, while RET would indent just like you see right now.
When `electric-indent-mode` is disabled, you can achieve what you want
by using RET, and `C-j` would indent.
If what you want is to keep the current column in places where there are
several indentation levels involved, then `C-a C-j` or `C-a RET`
(depending on the status `electric-indent-mode`) will help.
Cheers,
Fabián
