Backout ad09ce1d393c and replace ''' with """ to make some highlighting happy. I have tried Debian's default emacs and the current CVS version. Default emacs doesn't have highlighting enabled (and being emacs-illiterate I don't know how to enable it) and the CVS emacs' Python highlighting has no problems with ' characters here.

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py
