It was on the python.org contrib section, but that's now gone.  I think it
was in the python.org emacs section, too, but that seems to be gone - too
bad!  I too would like to see it back there.  I don't have time to post it
to comp.lang.emacs right now - feel free to do so, if you'd like!  I just
can't followup at the moment, due to lack of time...

Do '^U^C^H' at a top-level topic.  (If you just keep doing a '^C^H' it'll
close things until you get to the top level, then a message will tell you
to give the repeat count.)
