I am using python-mode.el in Emacs to edit some Python code and it has the most annoying feature where it auto-indents a comment and then starts a new line. For example, if I have this:
def x():
y = 1
<cursor is here, at root indentation level>
And then add in one # at the root indentation level:
def x():
y = 1
#
<cursor is now here>
It automatically indents, inserts the #, and inserts a carriage return after the #. It's driving me crazy. I want my comments to stay exactly where I put them! Any suggestions?
I've looked through the elisp code for the mode and can't find anything yet nor can I find anything elsewhere online. All I can find is that comments won't be used for future indentation (py-honor-comment-indentation) but nothing related to the comment itself. Nor the strange carriage return.

M-x customize py-electric-comment-p RET
setting it to `nil' should solve it.
