If I have a multi-line string (in triple quotes), I don't believe that pep8 should be analyzing the contents for indentation problems and the like. This code may very well be not-python and, as such, need not comply to pep8. It might be nice (though I am not certain of how easy) to treat docstrings different from other block quotes as there are guidelines on docstrings in PEP 257: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/
