I don't know how good it is, but I did do some work on one a while back 
-- I'll go try to dig it up. there is one in the Python standard 
library, but it's not great.

Are they run in a separate Python process?

Yes -- very handy!

Is this to re-indent a whole block of code? That's a bit tricky for 
Python, but key for brace-delimited languages, but there will need to be 
a way to specify what style of indentation you want -- i.e. with C, 
people like to put their brackets in different places.

Is that indenting when you hit a return at the end of a line? That is 
key, and Emacs Python mode does it right (most don't).

oh well, tricky stuff -- maybe trying to parse the elisp is worth a try.
