BUGS
Continuation lines are not dealt with at all.
While triple-quoted strings won't confuse it, lines that look like
def, class, import or "from ... import" stmts inside backslash-continued
single-quoted strings are treated like code. The expense of stopping
that isn't worth it.
Code that doesn't pass tabnanny or python -t will confuse it, unless
you set the module TABWIDTH vrbl (default 8) to the correct tab width
for the file.''' # ' <-- bow to font lock

PACKAGE RELATED BUGS
- If you have a package and a module inside that or another package
with the same name, module caching doesn't work properly since the
key is the base name of the module/package.
- The only entry that is returned when you readmodule a package is a
__path__ whose value is a list which confuses certain class browsers.
- When code does:
from package import subpackage
class MyClass(subpackage.SuperClass):
...
It can't locate the parent. It probably needs to have the same
hairy logic that the import locator already does. (This logic
exists coded in Python in the freeze package.)
