So do I.  Something I'm still acutely aware of despite not using Emacs for
years is how much trouble it would be to teach python-mode.el about a unique
new way to continue a statement.  Parens would "just work".  Ditto for IDLE,
and tokenize.py, etc etc etc etc.  I bet tools parsing import statements for
*content* (like pychecker, and perhaps pyclbr.py -- the others mentioned are
just looking at form) would need modification regardless, though.
