Hi Fabian,
I was thinking a bit more about this after my report and I concluded
that a simpler approach based on the recommendations of pep8 could fit
the bill: two consecutive blank lines can be considered as an
"indentation context" that finishes a top level definition, so the
next line will have no indentation at all. I've already implemented
this and could post a patch later if you want, but it's a pretty
trivial one and I'm sure you would do it better than me.
Cheers
