在Emacs中的Verilog文件中嵌入Python代码

Question

I am working on a project whereby I need to embed Python within a Verilog file. The Python isn't really intended for execution in the normal sense as it will be read by a secondary tool. The Python will be written blocks that have some fixed demarcation (such as #+BEGIN_SRC, in org-babel).

module name ();

#+BEGIN_SRC python
def my_function ():
    ...
#+END_SRC

always @(posedge clk)
    ...
endmodule

Within Emacs this causes havoc, although Python-mode and Verilog-mode work fine, when combining both in the same file things quickly break-down as one would expect. Indentation is hopelessly broken as is syntax-highlighting. I understand this is a very weird thing to do, and I understand that there will almost certainly never been any real need to do this under normal circumstances, however for this particular case it is necessary.

My question: is there anyway within Emacs to specify multiple major modes within the same file. For example, is there some way that I can write a file using Verilog-mode as my major mode, but use Python-mode within the predefined blocks that are then ignored in the reset of the file.

There are a number of possibilities listed here:

I've used multi-mode with latex and haskell, and it works OK.
