Subject: 24.3.50; Arithmetic error upon calling `python-indent-line` in a
 buffer of a single non-empty line.

An Arithmetic error is raised when the `python-indent-line` function is
called on a buffer consisting of one non-empty line.

cd src/emacs-bzr/install-prefix/bin/
./emacs -Q
C-x b pybuf <RET> def main(): M-x python-mode <RET> C-j

  python-indent-line: Arithmetic error

*Backtrace* buffer:
  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (arith-error)
    python-indent-calculate-levels()
    python-indent-line()
    python-indent-line-function()
    indent-according-to-mode()
    newline-and-indent()
    call-interactively(newline-and-indent nil nil)
    command-execute(newline-and-indent)

The patch below resolves the problem by ensuring that the function
`python-indent-guess-indent-offset` does not set `python-indent-offset`
to zero, thereby violating the precondition of the function
`python-indent-calculate-levels` which expects `python-indent-offset` to
not equal zero (otherwise attempts to modulus a number and zero). It
makes sense that `python-indent-offset` would never equal zero since the
python language requires non-zero level indentation of blocks.
