I haven't had to do that since I used "ed" :)
It looks like you're using PEP-8 "4-spaces per indent" (instead
of 1-tab or some other increment of spaces), so you want to set
your 'shiftwidth' and 'expandtab' settings accordingly:
:set sw=4 et
You can then use the "<" and ">" operators to indent/dedent over
a motion such as
>ip
to indent the "inner paragraph" or
3<<
to dedent 3 lines by one 'shiftwidth'. You can also use them in
visual mode to indent/dedent the selected text. For more
information, you can read up at:
:help 'sw'
:h 'et'
:h >
:h v_>
My ">ip" presumes you're familiar with text-objects:
:help text-objects
which, if you're not, are something that drives me nuts in other
editors when I *don't* have them. They're killer for productivity.
