It seems that for me the hang is because I have customized my python
prompt (sys.ps1 = 'py> ' in ~/.pythonrc.py).

I have to set python-shell-prompt-regexp to match to avoid a hang as
python.el thinks it needs to keep waiting for process output.

Can python.el be made more robust in this regard?

Otherwise there needs to be a big fat warning attached to
python-shell-prompt-regexp.
