I'm using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 on Slackware linux 13.0 32-bit.
Syntax highlighting does not work. The only thing highlighted are
strings. Not even function definitions.
I've tried add-hook with
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration
'((python-mode . 3)))
I've started emacs with a python file and --debug-init
with no messages that suggest any type of error.
c-h, v font-lock-maximum-decoration gives me
[no match]
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Other programming
modes work fine. Other python mode functions appear to
work as expected.
thanks

Hmm! See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonMode
where is says:
"""
Emacs post version 21 has its own python mode (python.el). This is
enabled by default for .py files so you don?t have to add anything to
your InitFile to use it.
"""
I believe the statement above is incorrect. I had to use the
require form - I.E. (require 'python) to activate the syntax
highlighting.
cheers

I can't reproduce that. In fact:
emacs -q /usr/share/yum-cli/yumcommands.py
gives me python-mode *with* syntax color.
[Also on 23.1.1]

Then I withdraw this statement:

My problem may be from a side effect of something else in my .emacs
or other configuration.

It may be something not under your own control, however.
In particular, some OS distributions add their own local
configurations to their emacs installations.
I recommend doing the same test I did. If it has the same
problem you saw with your configuration, try the option
"--no-site-file" as well.

Done. And with the --no-site-file option syntax highlighting
is the same. However, using -q
(--no-init-file, -q load neither ~/.emacs nor default.el)
I have highlighting.
I could probably find the problem by going thru my .emacs line by
line, but I'm happy just to use 'require.
thanks again
