[Python-mode] byte compile error

[Pete Nagy]

Hi ->

I am trying to byte compile my python-mode.el file, but each time I do I
get a 'fatal error' message and emacs (emacs-21.3 windows) crashes.  The
same thing happens if I just put the uncompiled .el in my lisp/progmodes,
add the autoload line, and try to open a .py file with emacs.  If I
compile the python-mode.el file myself, I get:

$ clisp -c python-mode.el -o python-mode.elc
  i i i i i i i       ooooo    o        ooooooo   ooooo   ooooo
  I I I I I I I      8     8   8           8     8     o  8    8
  I  \ `+' /  I      8         8           8     8        8    8
   \  `-+-'  /       8         8           8      ooooo   8oooo
    `-__|__-'        8         8           8           8  8
        |            8     o   8           8     o     8  8
  ------+------       ooooo    8oooooo  ooo8ooo   ooooo   8
