See my other message. Both shouldn't be needed.

Yes.

Could we start with your patch? That means, could you push it to master?
I would continue then with my proposals from the other message.

@Augusto: I don't write python code, so I haven't an idea what is

the settings you apply in your emacs, which I can use for my own tests?
