Well, there is no big mystery I think.  It's simply that
`python-indent-context' goes to the beginning of line itself:

    (defun python-indent-context ()
      ...
      (save-restriction
        (prog-widen)
        (let ((ppss (save-excursion
                      (beginning-of-line)
                      (syntax-ppss))))

Actually, I forgot to check for an indent context of :inside-docstring
though.  I'm not sure if there is valid python code which could trigger
electric indent next to a docstring, but it's probably more correct to
do this instead:
