Summary: Handle triple-quoted strings correctly.

Initial Comment:
This patch adds an option that will color triple-quoted strings 
correctly.  It works by turning off syntax-highlighting for strings and 
comments (by registering quotes and hashes in the syntax table as 
normal punctuation); and using a fairly advanced keyword matcher 
to find all strings and comments.  The keyword matcher uses a text-
property to keep track of the syntax category of each character, and 
only updates it as needed.  Therefore, the option can only be used if 
text-properties are available (but they are available on all current 
versions of emacs, as far as I know).

Caveat: it's possible that this will be slow on some machines, or 
under certian circumstances.  But it's not noticably slower on the 
machines & files I've tested it on.

Sorry, how do I install this? I'm using python-mode
ver1.0alpha, found on the "Files" page.

Ed, this looks like this would be a good addition, but there are
some problems.  Is there any resolution to Johannes' note about
comment breakage?  I just patched my copy of python-mode.el.
When I visit a .py file it complains that it can't find the
text-properties package.  (This is XEmacs 21.4.15.)  I didn't
see anything like text-properties or properties in the package
list.

I applied this patch to the latest python-mode and while
triple-quoted-strings mostly work fine (thank you! thank
you! thank you!), comments seem to be a bit broken. Take a
look at BaseHTTPServer.py from the Python CVS for a
particularly bad example.

I'm running "GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 2.4.10)
 of 2004-10-11 on surfboy, modified by Debian", compiled
from Emacs CVS using the emacs-snapshot package.

So I did.  Trying again.

Edward, perhaps you forgot to check the box when uploading
the patch?  There's nothing currently attached to this item.
