def wwrap(f):
print 'Inside wwrap()'

print 'Inside wrapped_f()'

return wrapped_f
return wwrap
The point is on "return wrapped_f". The user then hits C-M-a to navigate
to the beginning of the current function. The point is unambiguously
inside wwrap() and not inside wrapped_f(), so I claim it should end up
at the "def wwrap(f)" line. However the current behavior (and that test
suite check) say it should end up on "def "wrapped_f()".
[ Note: the below is the view from the generic side of Emacs, because
I don't know much about Python in general and python-mode
in particular. ]
Traditionally (IMO), C-M-a goes to the nearest beginning of defun at the
same AST level or higher. So from "return wrapped_f", it seems reasonable
to jump to "def wrapped_f(*args):".
If you want to jump to the beginning of the enclosing defun, I think we
need another function, which currently doesn't exist in the "generic"
part of Emacs. If C-M-a always jumped to the beginning of the enclosing
defun, then it would always jump to BOB when called from outside
a function, and that's clearly not how it behaves usually.
