For such languages, there is `org-src-preserve-indentation'...

You can set it locally, for every new Python block, with "-i" switch.

I cannot see any other way around.

Org removes indentation automatically, e.g., when editing a source block
or when exporting a document. If you indent lines in an indentation
preserved block, there is no more way to tell if the indentation is
added by Org -- and could be removed -- or required by the block. This
is why we also need to indent them from column 0.
