Emacs - Python Indent in parenthesis

My default python mode in emacs indents the following multiline code this way:

mydict = {
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2,
}

which is okay as of PEP8

I' d rather use the following style:

mydict = {
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2,
    }

which is also ok with PEP8.

How do I tell emacs to indent the last parenthesis accordingly to the beginning of the previous line?

Just install the latest python-mode.el (from https://launchpad.net/python-mode).

In the latest version 6.1.4, the PEP8 "indent-alternatives when closing a list" is implemented (see release notes.)

In your case, you don't have to customize it, and just accept the default.

By default, py-close-at-start-column-p is nil, which looks like:

my_list = [
     1, 2, 3,
     4, 5, 6,
     ]
result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(
     'a', 'b', 'c',
     'd', 'e', 'f',
     )
