I've seen the same problem on Win32 XEmacs, but I *only* had the problem the
when running a GUI program: I was experimenting with wxWindows/wxPython at the
time.

Have you tried C-c ! while in a python-mode buffer? This should split your frame
and start a python session in one frame. C-c C-c will execute the current Python
buffer. If I recall correctly, those worked fine.
