Is a 'bugfix' version of jed's pymode.sl editor config file available anywhere?

Hi Ken,

I'm pretty much a python newbie and I don't know jed. But I've noticed 
that every editor with a Python mode that I have tried (other than IDLE 
and possibly LEO) has this problem. One of the links on 
<http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode/> has a discussion of various 
workarounds that you might find of use. It is, as the address implies, 
focused on emacs and Python, but I have found the advice generally 
applicable to the Python modes of other editors.

Hope that helps,
