I'm not complaining about the functionality here.  I just don't know what a 
"sentence" means in a python file.  I think what is meant is a python 
statement, but the docstrings should reflect that, or define what is meant by a 
sentence.

That said, I did just notice that M-a (python-nav-backward-sentence) gets 
"stuck" on the comment in the test below.  If I put a blank line after the 
comment then it doesn't.

print libgap('if 4>3 then\nprint("hi");\nfi')
# Abort/segfault
print libgap('SmallGroup(12,3)')

I can create a new bug for that if desired.
