In py-execute-region on line 1759 (v. 4.75) change
"py-which-shell" to "shell".

I have no idea, but I'm quite sure you will get usefull
answers on the (x)emacs mailing lists.

Thanks.  I started working on this last night and think I
have a fix.

Worrying that fixing this problem in the obvious way might
lead to
other problems elsewhere leads me to wonder if there's a
unit test
package for Emacs Lisp that's similar to Python's unittest
module.

This problem only occurrs when there is no *Python* shell
buffer.  Hitting C-c ! makes the problem disappear.

Subject: [Python-mode] Error in string-literal pattern
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.56.0607181511330.16725@inferno-02.cs.huji.ac.il>

It appers that single quoted triple quoted string literals end
prematurely by a
single quote inside them. Similarly, double quoted triple quoted
strings end prematurely by a double quote inside them.

For example:
a = '''  It's tea time '''
won't highlight correctly.

I looked at the python-mode.el source code, and I saw that you do
attempt to handle these cases, but I couldn't see the error in the RE
pattern.

I'm using GNU Emacs version 24.4.1 on GNU/Linux and python-mode revision
4.75.

Thanks for your help.
