Description

Python highlighting is a bit broken with regard to triple quotes, see below.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a new file with Ctrl+N
2. Set to Python grammar using a button in bottom right.
3. Enter following text:

code:

class A:
    @classmethod
    def first(cls, iterable):
        """
        'REPLACE'
        """
        pass

    def other(self):
        pass

Expected behavior:

I expect the text between triple quotes (including them) to be colored as strings. Text that follows second triple quote should be highlighted as code.

Actual behavior:

All text following second triple quote till the end of file will be highlighted as a string.

Reproduces how often:

Everytime.

Versions

Atom : 1.28.1 Electron: 2.0.4 Chrome : 61.0.3163.100 Node : 8.9.3 OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Having the same issue on Windows 10.

In my case, it only happens after a docstring which has single quotes ' within the docstring. As is the case in the screenshot above.

Edit: Nevermind, it doesn't always happen under those conditions.

Still is broken on 1.48.0, at least if you use Kite, which requires the tree-sitter parse to be disabled.

Seeing this issue still in Atom v1.54.0 on Mac OS 10.15.7 (Catalina).
