[Python-mode] trouble with python-mode on Win 2000

[Moyer, Todd [IT]]

For what it's worth:

The problem I was seeing in python-mode was originating in the xemacs-base/compile.el
package.  Something about the mods made for compile.el version 1.36 would allow it to compile, but not load.  Using version 1.35 fixed my problem.

I'm using Win 2000.  I also have CygWin, which could be confusing the package about "xargs".  However, I don't know how XEmacs could be aware of CygWin, so I'm just throwing that out as a possibility.

Cheers,
Todd
