Oops, sorry. I pasted it into an interactive session and got an 
IndentationError - I didn't look at the code itself.

But now I don't see what's wrong with the new behaviour in this 
particular case. The "y = 7" line belongs to the if statement, so the 
indentation guides are not misleading.

I just viewed your example in an editor using Qscintilla versions 1.7.1 
and 2.1, and the indentation guides have gaps at the fifth and sixth 
lines - which looks wrong to me.

Are you saying it would be better with the gaps?
