Python block comments broken in v19

[mlevedahl]

In python, a sequence of 3 single quotes or double quotes are used to denote a block comment. v19 does not recognize the closing set of single quotes unless on the same line. e.g.
""" some stuff
     works"""

''' a single line using triple quotes works '''

''' but a comment on multiple lines
   ends up treating the rest of the file as a comment'''

Reproduced it, taking a look.

Fixed.  Unfortunately, it's not hot-fixable, so it will be in the first update.

This seems to apply to triple-quoted strings more generally. Eg, setting a variable to TQ string that spans multiple lines.

Will the update be available soon? The loss of syntax coloring really puts a damper on using SE for python projects.

Update soon, please.  I have temporarily switched to using triple double-quoted doc strings, and it pains me.  If I can't switch back to triple single quotes soon, I might die.  I am aware that is unreasonable.

Sorry about this issue. We know we can't wait that long for an update which fixes this.
