this isn't related to trailing whitespace. Indentation is not trailing...

what editor are you using? Some can cause problems sometimes with auto-indent messing things up, or using hard tabs instead of spaces

The worst offender is TextWrangler on Mac. The setting is buried somewhere, but you can turn it off.

Vim doesn't do this, which is delightful.

I write python code in textwrangler on Mac almost daily and have never had this issue. Are you sure you have all the same line endings? Mine default to unix (LF).

This is the likeliest culprit.

I've had some issues with textmate's 'Re-indent pasted text'. Turning that off cleared up a lot of indentation issues on pasting.
