This is very helpful.  See below.

Obviously, I should have sent it as an attachment instead of as part of
the email. ;)

I've made another attempt, and checked it with some other python files,
and I think I've gotten it (mostly) right this time.  It won't color
triple-quoted strings like

"""
this is a string
"""

properly, but all the regexes that do color them properly highlight far
too much, just as the current regex does.  The new attempt is attached. 
Please let me know if it's acceptable.  (And, if it is, could you please
also tell me who you got the original regexes from, so that if it's
merged into nanorc.sample, I know who to credit in the changelog for the
original work?)  Thanks in advance.
