That's not the way python-mode works. If I enter this:
def f(a):
b = a * a
@
%
then hit LF or RET after the statement, it inserts a newline and inserts
enough spaces to leave the cursor where I placed the @ sign. If I hit
another LF or RET it removes the "trailing" whitespace on the current line,
enters a newline and inserts enough spaces to leave the cursor where I
placed the % sign.

Not by default. You could add a hook to write-file-hooks though.
