I just found http://www.lacusveris.com/PythonTidy/PythonTidy-1.16.python
which does it quite good. Maybe this could be a good starting point to  
set up a tidy function.

It can handle TABs, things like "import os, re" etc. The only thing is  
that it cannot handle long strings. But this can be addded.
