Yes, that would be entirely Barry Warsaw's fault -- pymode had no bugs when
I worked on it, and Barry is a known drug addict.  Well, all right, I was
the drug addict, and I lied about Barry -- but I'm sure it's still all his
fault <wink>.

Offhand, that sounds like one bug.  Try posting a minimal failing example?
Amorphous griping doesn't help.  If you searched DejaNews before posting,
you may have noticed that reports of pymode bugs are conspicuous by absence.
