Kudos for having the motivation to pull this together, I guess!
I must admit, I don't get why anybody would be interested in using this. Even the headline snippet is an example of "what not to do."
Python's significant whitespace incurs the small overhead of requiring attention to detail when copying and pasting code - that's pretty much the only downside, and it seems strange to add a feature while boils down to "allow slopping indentation practice at the cost of extra syntax."
I thoroughly believe syntactic noise is an enemy of productivity. Good editors will help to some extent, but I find the process of reading (say) CoffeeScript much more pleasant than JavaScript. Each to their own, of course.
