Triple-quoted string font-lock problem

James B. Reese — Sun, 30 May 2004 19:57:08 -0000

Font-lock in xemacs is not displaying triple-quoted strings correctly.
For example:

"""
This is "a test" string
on multiple lines.
"""

The phrases "This is " and " string on multiple lines." are formatted
as strings, but "a test" is not formatted as a string.

It appears that the triple quote is being treated as three
individual quotation marks instead of as a single entity.

A fix for this will be greatly appreciated. I *love* python-mode.el!
