This isn't exactly what you want, but my solution for this has been to
shrink tabs from eight to four spaces in vim; that helped loads.

On a stylistic note, it might also be that the code needs refactoring to
be more pythonic, as "Flat is better than  nested." is one of the
language's core philosophies.
