To clarify, the last line above is aligned with the continued line
above it, rather than starting at the correct indentation level.
This is with Dave Love's python.el included in emacs.
 python-mode.el, by Tim Peters, Barry Warsaw et al, indents this correctly.

Recently there was some discussion about emacs switching to
python-mode.el (or perhaps trying to merge the two?)
The authors of python-mode.el, if I remember correctly, expressed
willingness to assign copyright.
What is the current status of python-mode.el ?

Is it proper to look at python-mode.el when making changes to python.el?

Is it a waste of time to fix bugs in python.el, since it will soon be replaced?
