Code formatters work just fine in python. If you're running a code formatter frequently, that is not "leaving it inconsistent".

If we’re talking about pasted code not having the proper indentation, that’s a major difference between languages with and without significant whitespace. A formatter can fix that in C, but not in Python. Additionally, manual fixing of the indentation is required first.
I just don't think this is really a problem. My editor doesn't actually have trouble putting pasted code at the right indentation level...
