You don't say what Emacs version you're using (please use M-x
report-emacs-bug when reporting Emacs bugs), and I'm not sure what you
mean by "run python", but I tried `M-x term RET python RET' and then
pasted the following with mouse-2 into the buffer, and the indentation
seems correct?

So I'm not able to reproduce the bug.  Are there some additional steps
necessary to reproduce?
