Attempting to change inner quotes actually modifies the most outer quotes

[zzantares]

Hello, I have a problem, in python having this (cursor is | in word access_token):

            body="""
            {
                "access|_token": "fg123234ksdf9whgelxsurgpr",
                "expires_at": 3600,
                "user_id": "5194"
            }
            """)

Doing cs"' to change double quotes to single quotes ("access_token" to 'access_token') produces this:

            body='|""
            {
                "access_token": "fg123234ksdf9whgelxsurgpr",
                "expires_at": 3600,
                "user_id": "5194"
            }
            ""')

Notice, the most outer double quotes are changed, and cursor changes position.

Is there an easy fix to this?

the body=""" bit is confusing to the package. Seems like you are opening a multiline string. I think a linewise option should solve the problem, but I'm only starting to learn elisp.

Just curious, how often do you use this sort of triple quotes construct in python?

this is directly related to #56.

closing. duplicate of #56.

Thanks @ninrod, about your question that is an extract of a definition of a mock URL using httpretty on python, really I don't use it too often but when I do is annoying that this doesn't work as expected.
