The docs you linked say that IDLE can help with indentation, not reindent code for you. This might surprise you, but students don't necessarily know how to preserve indentation or reindent code as they cut/paste around.

> See also the indent/dedent region commands on the Format menu.

So not even you are reading the documentation?

And if IDLE is not good enough for students, Komodo IDE exists for 20 years, VS and VSCode also do a quite good job, PyCharm, as do Emacs and vim.

It isn't as if the alternative JavaScript and Go code is being written without adequate tooling.
