C-j doesn't indent in "emacs -Q".  RET does instead.

So the defaults are switched?
Don't think it's a good idea.

RET is that basic...
If beginners don't get a simple newline, that might turn bad.

It might.  Time will tell.

But RET does not seem to indent in the situation described here?
Ie, in inferior python buffers.
(Neither C-j nor RET ever has, AFAICS.)

It seems to work with RET if you set python-shell-interpreter to ipython,
but I think that's ipython doing it, not Emacs.

Maybe Emacs should be able to make it work with plain python?
