intltool-update -m warns about quoting in Python files

[Richard Laager]

Binary package hint: intltool

Please describe the problem:
The spurious warnings happen on code like this:
    if code == 102: # let's talk

As well as (and this is the more serious problem) any code that uses multiline
quotes:

"""This
is
all
one
string."""

Steps to reproduce:
1. Checkout Pidgin MTN
2. cd po
3. intltool-update -m

Actual results:
