The one and true editor. I /think/ the filling of comments gets handled
by fill.el. Filling of one-line strings would have to be handled by
python.el. I was looking to see if it tries to support that but couldn't
find indications it does. Cannot find that it documents to support it.

I agree it could be convenient and understand the expectation based on
the comment filling. Might be difficult to implement tho.
