Hi Barry, `beginning-of-defun-raw' in GNU Emacs has a nice feature, enabling functions instead of regexps to determine beginning and end of defun, i.e. function or form.
In python-mode.el I see you solved this by binding the beginning- and end-of-defun keys seperatly. (Maybe, because XEmacs lacks this feature?) However, this lets commands like M-x beginning-of-defun empty. My suggestion is to follow GNU conventions here, by introducing the missing forms in XEmacs lisp.el and python-mode.el alike. Herewith a patch against latest python-mode.el, which I enjoy, thanks BTW. Also a patch against latest XEmacs lisp.el. Best wishes Andreas Röhler
