Good news! I encounter the problem I described with 24.3.1. Note that my
comment was misleading: It has nothing to do with
`python-skeleton-autoinsert'... And my post was badly formatted (I don't
know why): The `pass' keyword must be on its own indented line, like this:

class base(object):
>       pass
>

Sorry for the noise and many thanks!
