Barry Warsaw f64b4054af (py-compute-indentation): Several changes made to improve navigation
over and around triple-quoted strings:

    - move the beginning-of-line to above the p-p-s call

    - in the `t' clause of the big cond, where we skip over
      triple-quoted strings, first find out if we're looking at a
      single or TQS, then skip over it in one fell swoop, instead of
      trying to loop over skipage of SQS's.

(py-parse-state): Implement XEmacs only hack to more accurately figure
out whether we're in a string or not.  Can't do this in Emacs because
it lacks the necessary primitive, so we just do it the old (and mostly
accurate, but foolable) way for Emacs.

Python Misc subdirectory
========================

This directory contains files that wouldn't fit in elsewhere, in
particular the UNIX manual page, an Emacs mode for Python source code,
and a list of Frequently Asked Questions (and their answers).  Some
documents are only of historic importance.
