I'm okay if people like the current definition of "sexp" for python-mode, but I still think the implementatin is slightly broken.  In the simple example below I cannot get past the end of the main function using `forward-sexp'.  Is this by design?


def main():
    return 2+3 # I get stuck here

print main()

If this is by design then I'll work around it in my code.
