How should I go about finding out about that error message ? Should I download the emacs python stuff from www.python.org/emacs ? as that would involve crashing it in on top of any existing python bindings that I seem to have at present. and it says there Emacs 20 versions, whereas I'm on 21.3 Should I remove the existing Python package from my current emacs before installing the python ones ?
