Deleting broken in Python, or why delete-key-deletes-forward sucks

The Python electric deleting feature is totally broken wrt `delete-key-deletes-forward'. I have `delete-key-deletes-forward', but my backspace key generates delete, and I have no backspace key on my keyboard. The standard XEmacs way of recognizing this can look like this: (defsubst delete-forward-p () (and delete-key-deletes-forward (or (not (eq (device-type) 'x)) (x-keysym-on-keyboard-sans-modifiers-p 'backspace)))) This is hard to explain and harder to understand, but that's what compliant code has to do in order to respect the current `delete-key-deletes-forward' mess.
