+(defvar py-block-comment-prefix "##"
+  "*String used by py-comment-region to comment out a block of code.
+This should follow the convention for non-indenting comment lines so
+that the indentation commands won't get confused (i.e., the string
+should be of the form `#x...' where `x' is not a blank or a tab, and
+`...' is arbitrary).")
+
+(defvar py-scroll-process-buffer t
+  "*Scroll Python process buffer as output arrives.
+If nil, the Python process buffer acts, with respect to scrolling, like
+Shell-mode buffers normally act.  This is surprisingly complicated and
+so won't be explained here; in fact, you can't get the whole story
+without studying the Emacs C code.
+
+If non-nil, the behavior is different in two respects (which are
+slightly inaccurate in the interest of brevity):
+
+  - If the buffer is in a window, and you left point at its end, the
+    window will scroll as new output arrives, and point will move to the
+    buffer's end, even if the window is not the selected window (that
+    being the one the cursor is in).  The usual behavior for shell-mode
+    windows is not to scroll, and to leave point where it was, if the
+    buffer is in a window other than the selected window.
+
+  - If the buffer is not visible in any window, and you left point at
+    its end, the buffer will be popped into a window as soon as more
+    output arrives.  This is handy if you have a long-running
+    computation and don't want to tie up screen area waiting for the
+    output.  The usual behavior for a shell-mode buffer is to stay
+    invisible until you explicitly visit it.
+
+Note the `and if you left point at its end' clauses in both of the
+above:  you can `turn off' the special behaviors while output is in
+progress, by visiting the Python buffer and moving point to anywhere
+besides the end.  Then the buffer won't scroll, point will remain where
+you leave it, and if you hide the buffer it will stay hidden until you
+visit it again.  You can enable and disable the special behaviors as
+often as you like, while output is in progress, by (respectively) moving
+point to, or away from, the end of the buffer.
+
+Warning:  If you expect a large amount of output, you'll probably be
+happier setting this option to nil.
+
+Obscure:  `End of buffer' above should really say `at or beyond the
+process mark', but if you know what that means you didn't need to be
+told <grin>.")

+and send the code to a *Python* process via `\\[py-execute-buffer]' instead.
+
+Following are subtleties to note when using a *Python* process:
+
+If a *Python* process is used, the region is copied into a temp file (in
+directory py-temp-directory), and an `execfile' command is sent to
+Python naming that file.  If you send regions faster than Python can
+execute them, Python mode will save them into distinct temp files, and

+from Python.  Each time this happens, the process buffer is popped into

+
+In most Emacs language modes, this function bears at least a

+

+expect them to act a lot like `search backward' and `search forward'
+string-search commands.  But because Python `def' and `class' can nest to

+done via a simple backward search:  the def containing point may not be
+the closest preceding def, or even the closest preceding def that's
+indented less.  The fancy algorithm required is appropriate for the usual
+uses of this `mark' command, but not for the `goto' variations.

+So the def marked by this command may not be the one either of the `goto'

+%v:py-beep-if-tab-change
+
+@KINDS OF LINES
+
+Each physical line in the file is either a `continuation line' (the
+preceding line ends with a backslash that's not part of a comment, or the
+paren/bracket/brace nesting level at the start of the line is non-zero,
+or both) or an `initial line' (everything else).
+
+An initial line is in turn a `blank line' (contains nothing except
+possibly blanks or tabs), a `comment line' (leftmost non-blank character
+is `#'), or a `code line' (everything else).
+
+Comment Lines
+
+Although all comment lines are treated alike by Python, Python mode
+recognizes two kinds that act differently with respect to indentation.
+
+An `indenting comment line' is a comment line with a blank, tab or
+nothing after the initial `#'.  The indentation commands (see below)
+treat these exactly as if they were code lines:  a line following an
+indenting comment line will be indented like the comment line.  All
+other comment lines (those with a non-whitespace character immediately
+following the initial `#') are `non-indenting comment lines', and their
+indentation is ignored by the indentation commands.
+
+Indenting comment lines are by far the usual case, and should be used
+whenever possible.  Non-indenting comment lines are useful in cases like
+these:
+
+\ta = b   # a very wordy single-line comment that ends up being
+\t        #... continued onto another line
+
+\tif a == b:
+##\t\tprint 'panic!' # old code we've `commented out'
+\t\treturn a
+
+Since the `#...' and `##' comment lines have a non-whitespace character
+following the initial `#', Python mode ignores them when computing the
+proper indentation for the next line.
+
+Continuation Lines and Statements
+
+The Python-mode commands generally work on statements instead of on
+individual lines, where a `statement' is a comment or blank line, or a
+code line and all of its following continuation lines (if any)
+considered as a single logical unit.  The commands in this mode
+generally (when it makes sense) automatically move to the start of the
+statement containing point, even if point happens to be in the middle of
+some continuation line.
+
+
+@INDENTATION
+
+Primarily for entering new code:
+\t\\[indent-for-tab-command]\t indent line appropriately
+\t\\[py-newline-and-indent]\t insert newline, then indent
+\t\\[py-delete-char]\t reduce indentation, or delete single character
+
+Primarily for reindenting existing code:
+\t\\[py-guess-indent-offset]\t guess py-indent-offset from file content; change locally
+\t\\[universal-argument] \\[py-guess-indent-offset]\t ditto, but change globally
+
+\t\\[py-indent-region]\t reindent region to match its context
+\t\\[py-shift-region-left]\t shift region left by py-indent-offset
+\t\\[py-shift-region-right]\t shift region right by py-indent-offset
+
+Unlike most programming languages, Python uses indentation, and only
+indentation, to specify block structure.  Hence the indentation supplied
+automatically by Python-mode is just an educated guess:  only you know
+the block structure you intend, so only you can supply correct
+indentation.
+
+The \\[indent-for-tab-command] and \\[py-newline-and-indent] keys try to suggest plausible indentation, based on
+the indentation of preceding statements.  E.g., assuming
+py-indent-offset is 4, after you enter
+\tif a > 0: \\[py-newline-and-indent]
+the cursor will be moved to the position of the `_' (_ is not a
+character in the file, it's just used here to indicate the location of
+the cursor):
+\tif a > 0:
+\t    _
+If you then enter `c = d' \\[py-newline-and-indent], the cursor will move
+to
+\tif a > 0:
+\t    c = d
+\t    _
+Python-mode cannot know whether that's what you intended, or whether
+\tif a > 0:
+\t    c = d
+\t_
+was your intent.  In general, Python-mode either reproduces the
+indentation of the (closest code or indenting-comment) preceding
+statement, or adds an extra py-indent-offset blanks if the preceding
+statement has `:' as its last significant (non-whitespace and non-
+comment) character.  If the suggested indentation is too much, use
+\\[py-delete-char] to reduce it.
+
+Continuation lines are given extra indentation.  If you don't like the
+suggested indentation, change it to something you do like, and Python-
+mode will strive to indent later lines of the statement in the same way.
+
+If a line is a continuation line by virtue of being in an unclosed
+paren/bracket/brace structure (`list', for short), the suggested
+indentation depends on whether the current line contains the first item
+in the list.  If it does, it's indented py-indent-offset columns beyond
+the indentation of the line containing the open bracket.  If you don't
+like that, change it by hand.  The remaining items in the list will mimic
+whatever indentation you give to the first item.
+
+If a line is a continuation line because the line preceding it ends with
+a backslash, the third and following lines of the statement inherit their
+indentation from the line preceding them.  The indentation of the second
+line in the statement depends on the form of the first (base) line:  if
+the base line is an assignment statement with anything more interesting
+than the backslash following the leftmost assigning `=', the second line
+is indented two columns beyond that `='.  Else it's indented to two
+columns beyond the leftmost solid chunk of non-whitespace characters on
+the base line.
+
+Warning:  indent-region should not normally be used!  It calls \\[indent-for-tab-command]
+repeatedly, and as explained above, \\[indent-for-tab-command] can't guess the block
+structure you intend.
+%c:indent-for-tab-command
+%c:py-newline-and-indent
+%c:py-delete-char
+
+
+The next function may be handy when editing code you didn't write:
+%c:py-guess-indent-offset
+
+
+The remaining `indent' functions apply to a region of Python code.  They
+assume the block structure (equals indentation, in Python) of the region
+is correct, and alter the indentation in various ways while preserving
+the block structure:
+%c:py-indent-region
+%c:py-shift-region-left
+%c:py-shift-region-right
+
+@MARKING & MANIPULATING REGIONS OF CODE
+
+\\[py-mark-block]\t mark block of lines
+\\[mark-python-def-or-class]\t mark smallest enclosing def
+\\[universal-argument] \\[mark-python-def-or-class]\t mark smallest enclosing class
+\\[py-comment-region]\t comment out region of code
+\\[universal-argument] \\[py-comment-region]\t uncomment region of code
+%c:py-mark-block
+%c:mark-python-def-or-class
+%c:py-comment-region
+
+@MOVING POINT
+
+\\[py-previous-statement]\t move to statement preceding point
+\\[py-next-statement]\t move to statement following point
+\\[py-goto-block-up]\t move up to start of current block
+\\[beginning-of-python-def-or-class]\t move to start of def
+\\[universal-argument] \\[beginning-of-python-def-or-class]\t move to start of class
+\\[end-of-python-def-or-class]\t move to end of def
+\\[universal-argument] \\[end-of-python-def-or-class]\t move to end of class
+
+The first two move to one statement beyond the statement that contains
+point.  A numeric prefix argument tells them to move that many
+statements instead.  Blank lines, comment lines, and continuation lines
+do not count as `statements' for these commands.  So, e.g., you can go
+to the first code statement in a file by entering
+\t\\[beginning-of-buffer]\t to move to the top of the file
+\t\\[py-next-statement]\t to skip over initial comments and blank lines
+Or do `\\[py-previous-statement]' with a huge prefix argument.
+%c:py-previous-statement
+%c:py-next-statement
+%c:py-goto-block-up
+%c:beginning-of-python-def-or-class
+%c:end-of-python-def-or-class
+
+@LITTLE-KNOWN EMACS COMMANDS PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN PYTHON MODE
+
+`\\[indent-new-comment-line]' is handy for entering a multi-line comment.
+
+`\\[set-selective-display]' with a `small' prefix arg is ideally suited for viewing the
+overall class and def structure of a module.
+
+`\\[back-to-indentation]' moves point to a line's first non-blank character.
+
+`\\[indent-relative]' is handy for creating odd indentation.
+
+@OTHER EMACS HINTS
+
+If you don't like the default value of a variable, change its value to
+whatever you do like by putting a `setq' line in your .emacs file.
+E.g., to set the indentation increment to 4, put this line in your
+.emacs:
+\t(setq  py-indent-offset  4)
+To see the value of a variable, do `\\[describe-variable]' and enter the variable
+name at the prompt.
+
+When entering a key sequence like `C-c C-n', it is not necessary to
+release the CONTROL key after doing the `C-c' part -- it suffices to
+press the CONTROL key, press and release `c' (while still holding down
+CONTROL), press and release `n' (while still holding down CONTROL), &
+then release CONTROL.
+
+Entering Python mode calls with no arguments the value of the variable
+`python-mode-hook', if that value exists and is not nil; for backward
+compatibility it also tries `py-mode-hook'; see the `Hooks' section of
+the Elisp manual for details.
+
+Obscure:  When python-mode is first loaded, it looks for all bindings
+to newline-and-indent in the global keymap, and shadows them with
+local bindings to py-newline-and-indent."))
