Well, usable for editting and such... syntax highlighting and
auto-indent don't work, or rather, they tend to work incorrectly.

Emacs parses the Python and does stuff based on that parse.  The only
place this causes a problem is typically in doc strings with ''' -- it
otherwise parses multiline fine.

And I know I'm not alone in using Emacs, so it's not just my usability
problem.

(And then there's the problems with the tabs and editting Python code
from the rest of the world... but I'll leave that for another time)
