infinite loop on py-indent-line

[Jarvis Schultz]

Hitting C-c C-v prints the following:
      Using `python-mode' version 6.0.10
M-x emacs-version returns:
      GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10) of 2012-11-05 on litembilla, modified by Debian

I have a bug that pops up where I am no longer able to use python-mode to tab lines. I can't determine exactly what cases cause this problem, but it seems related to the commenting rules. Perhaps because I use a combination of comment-dwim and py-comment-region to handle my commenting.

I'm attaching a file that causes the error. The file has 4 lines, a while statement, a blank line, and two commented lines. If either or both of the commented lines are uncommented, the error disappears. In the file's uploaded state, navigating to the blank line and pressing TAB prints the following message:

     py-beginning-of-comment: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

Running in the emacs-lisp debugger prints the following:
    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size")
      syntax-ppss()
      py-beginning-of-comment()
      py-end-of-statement(100 t)
      py-end-of-statement(100 t)

    (.)
      py-end-of-statement(100 t)
      py-end-of-statement(100 t)
      py-end-of-statement(67 t)
      py-end-of-statement(21 t)
      py-end-of-statement(20 t)

      py-beginning-of-statement-p()

      py-indent-line(nil)
      call-interactively(py-indent-line nil nil)

Both works here right out of the box.
If you wrote something for it, please show the code.

Can't reproduce. Do the error messages occur with example file?

What I see is some issue with var py-indent-comment.
If `t', you should correct the indent of comments first.

If nil, it seems to have a bug, as TAB doesn't indent.

Checked in some changes. Maybe try again from current trunk.

The changes fixed the problem! Great work!

Just for posterity, before the changes, the problem occurred by doing the following:

1) run "emacs -q" to avoid loading my .emacs
2) In *scratch* buffer run "eval-region" on following elisp lines:
    (push "~/.emacs.d/elpa/python-mode-6.0.10/" load-path)
    (require 'python-mode)
3) run "find-file" and open original attached file
4) press C-n to move down a line
5) press TAB key
6) minibuffer prints "Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size" and no tabbing is performed

Changing above push line to read '(push "~/.emacs.d/elpa/python-mode-trunk/" load-path)' (after checking out changes), and the error disappeared.

As elpa is now inside GNU Emacs, seems python-mode is no longer distributed there

It's known to be part of several other repos.
Looks like el-get provides it on a regular basis:
