Right now the syntax-propertize-function in python-mode does one simple thing: ensure triple quotes are properly marked as strings.  Since the treesitter grammar doesn’t distinguish between different flavors of strings, something similar would still be needed, if we want to continue to treat various string flavors distinctly using syntax.

It would make sense - since this way we would only have one source of 
syntax-recognition bugs, rather than two (both the grammar and the 
definition in Elisp).

Attached is a patch you can try (that uses treesit for s-p-f).

Unfortunately, it's not quite perfect (nor is python-syntax-stringify, 
according to its FIXME inside): after certain modifications, the 
syntax-table property is not applied.

I've done some print-debugging in python--treesit-parser-after-change, 
and it looks like the problem is this: in certain cases (e.g. when 
electric-pair-post-self-insert-function fires) the parser notifier fires 
only after syntax-propertize has been called -- and it fires inside of 
it. Meaning it's too late to flush the syntax-propertize cache at that 
point.

The reason for it is, overall, the fast that we're trigger parser's 
after-change notifiers lazily: only after some other feature has to 
initialize the parser, calling treesit_ensure_parsed from 
treesit-parser-root-node.

I think bug#66732 might also be a variation of this problem.

As for what to do about this one -- probably something involving 
syntax-propertize-extend-region-functions, adding an entry which would 
initialize the parser, but not call syntax-ppss-flush-cache directly (or 
at least not just that). It would signal the earlier position to extend 
to through some dynamic variable. This is getting tricky enough to move 
from the individual major modes into treesit.el proper, I think.

Yuan and others, thoughts welcome.

JD, I do believe the attached patch is TRT (or close to it), but 
depending on how it works for you, and how quickly we deal with the 
above problem, it might make sense to enact your original suggestion first.
