Python doc string with three double quotes

Python doc string with three double quotes

[Scott Reynolds]

Having an issue adding a doc string to my modules, functions, classes and
methods in python. I am using Emacs Prelude(
https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude). When started with --no-init-file the
behavior is not experienced.

A python doc string is surrounded by three double quotes. Like so:
"""
This is a doc string for a function.
"""

When I add the fifth ", emacs auto escapes the last two double  quotes. It
is like this:
"""
This is a doc string for the method
"\"\"

How do I prevent this from happening in python-mode ?

Turning off electric-auto-pair, changes the behavior to escaping the third
double quote instead of the 5th and 6th.

Anybody have any ideas to help me?

Thanks ahead of time!

Can't reproduce with shipped python-mode. Maybe use this?

This sounds like a bug in some kind of "automatic pairing" mode
you're using.  I can't reproduce it with "emacs -Q" using
electric-pair-mode, tho, so it's apparently some other automatic
pairing mode.

This comes from smartparens:
https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens/issues/8

So you should add python-mode to the variable sp-autoescape-string-quote-if-empty
(with M-x customize-variable sp-autoescape-string-quote-if-empty).

Didn't totally work for me (that is already setup for python-mode) but!
pointed me in the right direction so I am able so I should be able to fix
it up!

Thanks Damien
