Initial Comment:
[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/164423] 

Inside of a multi-line string delimited by
triple-quotes ("""), the syntax highlighting thinks
that " or ' terminates the string.  This is so bad with
", since they usually come in pairs and syntax
highlighting will be correct once the second " is
reached.  However, the apostrophe is often used in
contractions.  Once the apostrophe is hit, the
string-status of the entire rest of the script is
inverted.

This is caused by a limitation in Emacs.  See the FAQ
