If you have Python you will have either IDLE or Pythonwin (or both) Both of these will allow block indent/unindent so simply load the code into IDLE to do the indentation.. You can go back to gedit afterwards if you like. But as Kent said you should ideally aimto write the code as functions, each about 5-50 lines long (less than 5 and the advantage is minimal, mor than 50 is just too long - around 12 lines per functoion is a good average IMHO But don't use number of lines as the deciding factor! Divide the code into blocks of code that do something logical that you can describe in a few words (see the comments from Danny to Kermit for examples!) Use those few words to name the function. Consider how to pass key data between the funbctions using parameters and return values. If you don't know how to write functions take a look at the Functions topic of my tutor.
