	It does help, thank you.  Telling me not to depend on font-lock-mode to 
parse Python syntax led to write a patch to wisent-python.el to avoid 
using forward-sexp in favor of a function I created to skip over Python 
strings correctly.  I'm currently running with that patch.  Once I have 
some confidence that it's at least no worse than what was in there 
before I'll clean it up and send it in.

Thanks again,
