Emacs' python-mode buggy?

[Barry A. Warsaw]

For some reason you're still using hilite to do your syntax coloring.
You should trash hilite immediately and start using font-lock, which
is standard in Emacs and XEmacs now.

Unfortunately I can't help you much with the transition.  I don't use
Emacs and I never used hilite (XEmacs never had it).  Check on
comp.emacs or gnu.emacs.help for details.
