Summary: Triple-quoted string font-lock problem

Initial Comment:
Font-lock in xemacs is not displaying triple-quoted strings correctly. 
For example:

"""
This is "a test" string
on multiple lines.
"""

The phrases "This is " and " string on multiple lines." are formatted 
as strings, but "a test" is not formatted as a string.

It appears that the triple quote is being treated as three 
individual quotation marks instead of as a single entity.

A fix for this will be greatly appreciated. I *love* python-mode.el!

This is not something python-mode can realistically address.
 As you properly guess, because of limitations in Emacs'
(and XEmacs') built-in syntax table implementation,
python-mode has no choice but to treat triple quoted strings
as three separate entities.
