Summary: python-mode.el: py-b-of-def-or-class looks inside strings

Initial Comment:
Using python-mode.el 4.6 and gnu emacs 21.1.

To demonstrate this problem:

1. Open the attached file with emacs.

2. Position point at the "#" on the last line.

3. Type `M-C-a', py-beginning-of-def-or-class.

Point will now be inside the docstring for class x.

py-b-o-d-o-c uses regexps to look backwards for def or class lines.  When it finds a candidate line, should it maybe use partial-parse-sexp to decide if it's in a string or not?

I apologize if this issue has been raised before, but I wasn't able to figure out how to do keyword searches with sourceforge.
