[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've seen this most often in Django coding. Suppose the following file:
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

from django.contrib import admin

from myapp import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', views.index),
)
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

When I try to change the "url..." line to
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------
    url(r'^$', views.index, name="myapp_index"),
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

the moment I type the comma, the whole line bounces way over to the left.

Is this a bug? Is there a way to turn this off? It is highly
distracting.

(For what it is worth, I've seen the same issue in Windows Emacs.)

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/etc/DEBUG.

Indeed, I can reproduce this in Emacs-24.3.91.  The important detail is
not to hit "," but to insert a char right before the inner close paren.

The problem seems to be in python-indent-post-self-insert-function,
where the "still in parenthesis" check doesn't realize that it's within
a different pair of parens.

> Is this a bug?

Looks like it, yes.  Fabián, can you take care of it?

> Is there a way to turn this off?

A temporary workaround could be

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (remove-hook 'post-self-insert-hook
                         #'python-indent-post-self-insert-function 'local)))

Can't reproduce.

Indents to column 23, which seems correct.

BTW setting `electric-indent-mode' to nil would also be an alternative to avoid it.

It shouldn't re-indent at all.

Makes no difference, it's not done by electric-indent-mode.

Did you try it?

AFAIU it's a feature of electric-indent-mode

The chars, which trigger an indent, may differ. In this case a comma triggers it.

The real bug here IMHO is `electric-indent-mode' on by default - should be off.

I tried it in Emacs-24.3 which doesn't enable electric-indent-mode by
default, but suffers from the same problem.  Admittedly, In 24.4,
I half-fixed the problem by linking this python-mode feature to
electric-indent-mode, so that it can be turned off.

> The chars, which trigger an indent, may differ. In this case a comma
> triggers it.

Any char triggers it.  As I said:

   The important detail is not to hit "," but to insert a char right
   before the inner close paren.

The comma is not in electric-indent-chars.

Here's the offending code in python-indent-post-self-insert-function:

     ((and (not (bolp))
           (memq (char-after) '(?\) ?\] ?\})))
      (save-excursion
        (goto-char (line-beginning-position))
        ;; If after going to the beginning of line the point
        ;; is still inside a paren it's ok to do the trick
        (when (python-syntax-context 'paren)
          (let ((indentation (python-indent-calculate-indentation)))
            (when (< (current-indentation) indentation)
              (indent-line-to indentation))))))

This means that current line is reindented whenever you insert a char
right before a close-paren and line-beginning-position is inside some
parentheses.  Since reindenting a line is problematic in Python, it
should only be done when we really know for sure that the current indent
is wrong.  So clearly the above condition triggers too often.
But I don't understand the intention of the code, i.e. I don't
understand when the above is meant to trigger reindentation, so I don't
know how to fix it.  Presumably Fabián should be able to shed some
light here.

While this is a pretty recurrent style in Django's documentation, this
indentation style goes against PEP8.

http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation

Here's a nice answer on SO with an example similar to yours:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15435811/what-is-pep8s-e128-continuation-line-under-indented-for-visual-indent/15435837#15435837

Right, that was absolutely intended in the code. I'm now working in a
variant that would prevent triggering the indentation in that particular
case.

Notice, that even with this fix, python.el will still use the first
argument indentation as default value for further url definitions, so I
would suggest to embrace the PEP8 way intead -- unless you are really
contributing to Django and are forced to follow that convention.
