New in version 6.1.3

Written for python-mode.el by Andreas Roehler on 2014-01-28

- PEP8 indent-alternatives when closing a list implemented

Boolean `py-close-at-start-column-p', default is nil

my_list = [
    1, 2, 3,
    4, 5, 6,
    ]
result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(
    'a', 'b', 'c',
    'd', 'e', 'f',
    )

When non-nil, it will be lined up under the first character of the line that starts the multi-line construct, as in:

my_list = [
    1, 2, 3,
    4, 5, 6,
]

result = some_function_that_takes_arguments(
    'a', 'b', 'c',
    'd', 'e', 'f',
)

- Keys C-M-a, C-M-e usable for all top-level form, lp:1191078

  Boolean `py-defun-use-top-level-p'
  If non-nil, beginning- end-of-defun forms will use
  `py-beginning-of-top-level', `py-end-of-top-level',
  mark-defun marks top-level form at point etc.

Keys C-M-a, C-M-e usable for all top-level form, lp:1191078

- New commands:
  py-beginning-of-block-current-column
  "Reach the beginning of block which starts at current column "

  py-beginning-of-top-level
  py-beginning-of-top-level
  py-end-of-top-level
  py-mark-top-level
  py-copy-top-level
  py-delete-top-level
  py-kill-top-level
  py-execute-top-level
  py-top-level-form-p
  py-comment-top-level
  py-beginning-of-top-level-p

- `minor-block' commands added
  A minor block is started by a `for', `if', `try' or `with',
  while block covers also `def' or `class'

- variable `py-keep-windows-configuration', default is nil
  Setting `py-keep-windows-configuration' to `t' will
  restore windows-configuration regardless of
  `py-switch-buffers-on-execute-p' and
  `py-split-windows-on-execute-p' settings. However, if
  an error occurs, it's displayed.

  To suppres window-changes due to error-signaling
  also, set `py-keep-windows-configuration' onto 'force

- boolean empty-line-closes-p, default is nil
  When non-nil, dedent after empty line following block
  If non-nil, a C-j from empty line would dedent.

  if True:
      print("Part of the if-statement")

  print("Not part of the if-statement")

- boolean py-debug-p, default is nil
  When non-nil, keep resp. store information useful for
  debugging. Temporary files are not deleted. Other
  functions might implement some logging etc.

- heuristic exit
  new var `py-max-specpdl-size', default is `max-specpdl-size'
  py-end-of-statement will error if number of
  `py-max-specpdl-size' loops is completed, thus avoiding
  a hang from a possibly eternal loop.

- `py-statement' no longer refferred to `py-copy-statement'
  Same with block, def, expression etc. `py-statement' made
  own command, which returns statement, a string.

- boolean `py-max-help-buffer-p', default is nil
  If "*Python-Help*"-buffer be the only visible.
