    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61435894/autoindentation-in-vim-for-python

    But 'smartindent' is not really that appropriate for Python (as you can
    guess by it handling curly braces.) Instead, you'll want to use filetype
    indent on in order to load per-filetype indentation rules, which should
    load appropriate indentation for Python when you edit Python sources.

    I'd recommend that you add this to your vimrc:

        filetype plugin indent on

I'm not bothering to verify this.

Or you could try

    https://github.com/mathialo/bython

    Bython

    Python with braces. Because Python is awesome, but whitespace is awful.

    Bython is a Python preprosessor which translates curly brackets into
    indentation.
