True.  Python mode is rather weak about those.  Each time I shift a
block of lines left or right, I have to adjust these after the fact,
while Python mode should ideally do it for me (it should now about the
fact that multi-line strings are to be excluded from shift operations).

I do not even remember exactly myself.  Python mode has three ways for
submitting code to Python process, some of these require temporary files,
while others do not.  But Python mode produces temporary files even when
they are not needed.  I guess it was done this way to spare a few lines
of Emacs LISP code, but I'm not sure this is good economy.
