I sometimes use Emacs with python-mode.  I've modified my .emacs
file so that .ptl files are edited and highlighted in python-mode.
Good so far, but ...

The templates in a .ptl file do not show up under the IM-Python menu.
Does anyone have a modification to python-mode.el that will fix
this?

In python-mode.el, I tried changing:

    (defvar py-imenu-method-regexp
      (concat                               ; <>
       "\\("                                ;
       "^[ \t]*"                            ; new line and maybe whitespace
       "\\(def[ \t]+"                       ; function definitions start with
def
       "\\([a-zA-Z0-9_]+\\)"                ;   name is here
                                            ;   function arguments...
    ;;   "[ \t]*(\\([-+/a-zA-Z0-9_=,\* \t\n.()\"'#]*\\))"
       "[ \t]*(\\([^:#]*\\))"
       "\\)"                                ; end of def
       "[ \t]*:"                            ; and then the :
       "\\)"                                ; >>methods and functions<<
       )
      "Regexp for Python methods/functions for use with the Imenu
    package."
      )

to:

    (defvar py-imenu-method-regexp
      (concat                               ; <>
       "\\("                                ;
       "^[ \t]*"                            ; new line and maybe whitespace
       "\\(\\(def|template\\)[ \t]+"                       ; function
definitions start with def
       "\\([a-zA-Z0-9_]+\\)"                ;   name is here
                                            ;   function arguments...
    ;;   "[ \t]*(\\([-+/a-zA-Z0-9_=,\* \t\n.()\"'#]*\\))"
       "[ \t]*(\\([^:#]*\\))"
       "\\)"                                ; end of def
       "[ \t]*:"                            ; and then the :
       "\\)"                                ; >>methods and functions<<
       )
      "Regexp for Python methods/functions for use with the Imenu
    package."
      )

Nope.  So, I tried copying the above defvar, renaming it, and
replacing "def" with "template".  Then I added the following:

   (defvar py-imenu-generic-expression
     (cons
      (concat
       py-imenu-class-regexp
       "\\|"                               ; or...
       py-imenu-method-regexp
   ; also recognize Quixote templates
       "\\|"                               ; or...
       py-imenu-template-regexp
       )
      py-imenu-method-no-arg-parens)
   o
   o
   o

But, still no joy.  Suggestions?
