Has the behaviour of electric-pair-mode changed for single quotes? I am
on emacs-27 (MacOS). And I have noticed that it is not working for
single quotes. If I remember correctly then it used to work for single
quotes.
Am I correct in my understanding?
If I am correct then I'll file a bug-report.
Regards

Seems to work for me, but you didn't show any steps to reproduce, so
maybe I didn't try what you did.

Now I have tried it again in various modes. I just noticed that the
pairing doesn't work in some modes which obviously has good reasons.
It is not required in text-mode, message-mode, lisp-mode and may be
some other modes.
But in python-mode, there is a strange behaviour. Steps:
1. ./src/emacs -Q
2. open a temporary python file (or switch mode)
3. Following is the behaviour with keystrokes
Key Strokes Output
' '' <point before 2nd tick>
'' ''' <point before 3rd tick>
''' '''''' <point before 4th tick>
'''' ''''''' <point before 5th tick>
Is this the expected behaviour?

I think it's intentional, remember that python supports triple quotes
as a string delimiter. See longstring in
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#literals

Understood that. But as I have specified above (look at 2nd and 4th
row), there is imbalance in the output; total odd number of
single-quotes in the output.
