When working with Python and other languages which don't use braces, it's useful to be able to jump to and from lines which have the same indentation as the line you are currently on. 

 nn <M-,> k:call search ("^". matchstr (getline (line (".")+ 1), '\(\s*\)') ."\\S", 'b')<CR>^
 nn <M-.> :call search ("^". matchstr (getline (line (".")), '\(\s*\)') ."\\S")<CR>^

will map Alt-< and Alt-> in Normal mode to upward and downward searching for lines with the same indent as the current line.
