`fill-region' would utilize `fill-forward-paragraph-function' to move
over the paragraphs in that region and call `fill-paragraph-function' on
them. Then you as a mode author are free to define what a paragraph in
python means and how to properly fill it, e.g., every function
definition is a "paragraph", and when filling a paragraph, your
`fill-paragraph-function' actually only fills the documentation string
of the function.
