$ emacs file.py

    p=1
    p= 2
    p = 3
    p =4

I sure wish TAB (indent-for-tab-command) would make up its mind about
which one of these is best, and not throw up its hands and not deal with
it at all. "Even if they are all valid."
Of course 1 and 3 are better, and 3 is best.
But there could be a variable to set, for users who like 1.

OK, maybe I should just run my programs through
https://github.com/psf/black .

Seems like a better approach. Maybe this bug I opened should be closed then.

I don't think I understand.  What is the recipe for reproducing this
bug?  What do you see, and what do you expect to see?  Which version of
Emacs are you using?

I am just saying I edit a python file, do C-x h TAB, some things get
rearranged, but spaces if any around operators, is unaffected.
emacs-version "27.1"

So you are saying that `indent-for-tab-command' should also format
assignments?  I think that would be a bit unexpected, as the command is
specifically about indentation, and not intended for general code
formatting.

OK. Sorry. Closing.
