(defun end-of-sexp ()
  "Move point to the end of the current sexp.
\[This is an internal function.]"
  (let ((char-syntax (char-syntax (char-after))))
    (if (or (eq char-syntax ?\))
	    (and (eq char-syntax ?\") (in-string-p)))
	(forward-char 1)
      (forward-sexp 1))))

"or" asks if inside a string and calls (forward-char 1).

This must fail with some probability with
triple-quoted-strings as used in Python.

Solution:

When inside a string, jump to (nth 8 (syntax-ppss)) and
call (forward-sexp 1) from there.
