This is probably a simple issue but something is wrong with my Python tools for visual studio. When I first started using VS2015 for Python it would auto-indent whenever I used a colon. Now VS2015 is just acting like a text editor with syntax highlighting. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Python tools but that did not work. How do I fix Visual Studio to auto-style as I write Python again?

Auto formatting settings in Visual Studio Show activity on this post. Select the text you want to automatically indent. Click menu Edit → Advanced → *Format Selection, or press Ctrl + K , Ctrl + F . Format Selection applies the smart indenting rules for the language in which you are programming to the selected text.
Use the reindent.py script that you find in the Tools/scripts/ directory of your Python installation: Change Python (. py) files to use 4-space indents and no hard tab characters. Also trim excess spaces and tabs from ends of lines, and remove empty lines at the end of files.
Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open Command Palette. Type in settings and select Open User Settings. In Search settings box, input indent to search for settings related to indentation. Select full in Editor: Auto Indent section.

However, the most common (and default) mode is “Smart.” Unlike the other two modes, which are built into the editor, smart indentation is provided by a language service (which are also responsible for providing syntax highlighting and completions). Because they are targeted to a specific language, they can help the programmer by automatically adding and removing extra indentation in ways that make sense.
