Thank you for applying the patch.  However, I overlooked one problem.

#+begin_src python
match a:
    case 1:
        match b:
            case 2
#+end_src

When I type ":" at the last line after "case 2", the message "Closes
case 1:" is shown.  This is wrong because it cannot be the "case"
block of the outer "match" block (match a:).  I'm sorry if you were
mentioning this case.

Similar message can be shown with "elif":

#+begin_src python
for c in (1, 2):
    if a == 1:
        for d in (3, 4):
            elif b == 1:
#+end_src

However, this is not a correct Python code because "elif" cannot be
the first sentence in a block.

Dedenters other than "case" can never be the first sentence of a
block, whereas "case" can be the first sentence of a block.

So I think it is appropriate that the first "case" in the block should
not be considered a dedenter.  Attached is a patch to add a condition
in `python-info-dedenter-statement-p'.
