Subject: [PATCH] python.el: Function to return output without necessarily
 inhibiting

*
lisp/progmodes/python.el (python-shell-output-filter-inhibit-output):
Variable to determine whether output currently inhibited.
(python-shell-send-string): Check
`python-shell-output-filter-inhibit-output' instead of
`python-shell-output-filter-in-progress' to determine whether output
is inhibited.
(python-shell-output-filter): Set
`python-shell-output-filter-inhibit-output' to nil after reaching end
of output.
(python-shell-send-string-no-output): Turned into a thin wrapper
around `python-shell-send-string-maybe-output'.
(python-shell-send-string-maybe-output): Adapted from
`python-shell-send-string-no-output'.  Add function argument on
whether output should be inhibited, and set
`python-shell-output-filter-inhibit-output' accordingly.  If not
inhibited, then the original filter function is run in addition to
`python-shell-output-filter', and `comint-last-prompt' is not reset
after evaluation (since the original output filter will set it
approriately).
