With a file /tmp/test.netrc like this:

    # -*- conf-space-keywords: "machine\\|login\\|password" -*-
    machine XM login XL password XP

    machine YM
      login YL
      password YP

The first record is parsed correctly; the second is not:

    *** Welcome to IELM ***  Type (describe-mode) for help.
    ELISP> (require 'netrc)
    netrc
    ELISP> (netrc-parse "/tmp/test.netrc")
    ((("machine" . "XM")
      ("login" . "XL")
      ("password" . "XP"))
     (("machine" . "YM"))
     (("login" . "YL"))
     (("password" . "YP")))

The python netrc parser has no problem with this:

    bash4$ python -c 'import netrc;print(netrc.netrc("/tmp/test.netrc"))'
    machine YM
            login 'YL'
            password 'YP'
    machine XM
            login 'XL'
            password 'XP'

For the last seven years I have used fugly workarounds like this:

    (eval-after-load "rcirc"
      '(setq rcirc-authinfo
             (let ((f (lambda (host)
                        (list
                         (shell-command-to-string
                          (concat
                           "python -c \"import netrc,sys; sys.stdout.write(netrc.netrc().authenticators('" host "')[0])\""))
                         (shell-command-to-string
                          (concat
                           "python -c \"import netrc,sys; sys.stdout.write(netrc.netrc().authenticators('" host "')[2])\""))))))
               `(("freenode" nickserv ,@(funcall f "irc.freenode.net"))
                 ("oftc"     nickserv ,@(funcall f "irc.oftc.net"))))))


...but now I'm finally annoyed enough to actually report this and get a formal WONTFIX.
