Python sections are syntax highlighted but not indented

[chadwhitacre]

Auto-indenting doesn't seem to take in Python sections. E.g., I get:

if foo:
bar

Instead of:

if foo:
    bar

It feels like vim only allows one indentation style per file, but I could be wrong. Need to research more. I'm thinking back to all the times I tried to edit JavaScript within a script tag in an HTML doc... It always indented with my HTML indentation settings and not my JavaScript settings. Perhaps we just standardize on expandtab with 4 spaces.

Regardless I'm thinking the VIM plugin will have to be structured like this:

That way we can just set filetype=aspen and all will work, with the syntax, indentation, etc concerns separated nicey nice. Will probably steal techniques from that package.

There's lots of info, including indentation hints, on http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Different_syntax_highlighting_within_regions_of_a_file.

I asked a question on Stackoverflow so maybe the crowd will know.
