Hello,

I was trying to have spurious indentation removed from Python source
blocks before execution so that such blocks can be indented in Org mode
buffers.  I managed to do so successfully, but some tests keep failing
and I believe it’s the test runner that’s the culprit. With the attached
patch applied, I’ve observed successful execution when manually trying
test cases similar to those in test-ob-python.el, indented or not. But
the following tests fail with ‘(args-out-of-range "return x" 42 43)’
errors:

   FAILED  test-ob-python/colnames-nil-header-argument
   FAILED  test-ob-python/colnames-no-header-argument
   FAILED  test-ob-python/colnames-yes-header-argument

(9 tests fail without this patch, the other 6 is irrelevant and do fail
when I test w/o the patch too, on commit b171ff02f.)

I think the cause is the modifications to the code blocks body (deletion
of spurious indentation from an indented src block), but I’m not sure
how exactly.

This is weird because the in-buffer text doesn’t change.

In any case I’m also proposing the attached patch as a new feature.
Could start a new thread for it if necessary.

P.S.: please keep me in the CC in your replies, I’m not subscribed to
the mailing list.
