Thanks! How is the package called? I don't see it list-packages :/
This sounds pretty similar to the solution I outlined before, though. The problem that I ran into with python is that I also need to "reopen" the quotes or comments. For example. a bit of code might be in the middle of a docstring, like this:
def example():
"""Blah
>>> blah(xyz)
bluh!
What a great example!
"""
The issue here is that “What a great example” is a string. I tried using a syntactic face function to mark the last ‘>’ as a strong closer and the newline as a string opener, but that confused the existing function, which expects the docstring starter to be ‘"""’, not ‘\n’. Even after fixing this, python-mode was unusable: it inflooped when trying to find a whole defun, because the nav-end-of-defun function isn't ready to accept ‘\n’ as a string starter.
Cheers,
Clément.
