For consistency with the rest of the Emacs code base, I suggest dropping
the `nav', since other modes don't use that naming convention.  As for
the bug report, I don't have an opinion on whether it should be
`python-sentence-start' or `python-statement-start'.  If the former, it
would be nice if the docstring explains what "sentence" means in the
Python context.
