bug#48695: python.el *-backspace functionality behavior

[Mikhail P]

Hello!

I want to report a small behavior problem of the default python.el

When hitting backspace in some context it does not delete the region selected (between active mark and cursor) but dedents instead.

Attaching a video and debug info below.

Thanks, Mikhail
