When you have a new "untitled" document Kate does not know what type of 
document you are going to type so it assumes you want the "Normal" mode. In 
normal mode the next line will be indented as the previous one. But you can 
change the highlighting and indentation type to python for the current 
document with: 
Tools -> Mode -> Sctripts -> Python

By default aligning does not have a keyboard shortcut, but it is easy to add 
in: Settings->Configure Shortcuts... I usually set Ctrl-Tab for aligning code, 
but that does override the quick document switch shortcut.
