Actually, the fix just made paragraph filling not throw an error. I'm pretty sure the bug of M-q filling past the closing tqs has been fixed for a long time. > And did you fix it in IDLE too?

I'm just trying to suss out whether the reason is linked to the old python-mode bug or whether there's a stylistic motivation here. If it's the former, I think we should remove the recommendation. If it's the latter, I might disagree but we can leave it in. -Barry
