[Python-mode] comment to signal de-indentation?

Dear Barry,

It goes into an interesting direction, but does not
exactly do what I want.  Perhaps I can bend it a bit.

That looks like a good approach. Unfortunately, I am
using Xfree86 under cygwin with the -clipboard feature,
which enables copy-and-paste between X and Windows, but
only at the price that region commands in emacs don't
work any more (the region is de-selected immediately
after selection).  That's why I never seriously tried
to learn these commands.  But perhaps I should
reconsider this option now.


Best regards,

Andreas
