huh, somehow I submitted this before I was done, sorry bout that.

IDLE (the shell, not the text editor) doubles the indentation when in nested statements.
For instance
while True:
    while True:
        while True:

becomes
>>> while True:
        while True:
                while True:
backspacing removes all 8 spaces as well, so once I'm nested that far I have to manually indent.
