It should parse this as

Why?  Because things like `print 'done'` usually have an empty line before it:

if True:
print 'true'
else:
print 'false'

print 'done'

That should be parsed the way you want it done.  Makes perfect sense
when you look at it.

I don't think it makes any sense at all, for two reasons:

1) Empty lines have no such semantic meaning in Python.
2) Anything that strips tabs is just as likely to strip EOLs.
