evil interaction of (require 'python-mode) and (global-font-lock-mode 1)

[alberto.besana@gmail.com]

I'm using
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1
on WIndowsXP

The following two lines in my .emacs

(require 'python-mode)
(global-font-lock-mode 1)

give me the following error (using debug on init):

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid face" font-lock-keyword-
face)
  internal-copy-lisp-face(font-lock-keyword-face py-pseudo-keyword-
face #<frame emacs@BESANAA01 0x1670800> nil)
  copy-face(font-lock-keyword-face py-pseudo-keyword-face #<frame

  copy-face(font-lock-keyword-face py-pseudo-keyword-face)

"~/.emacs" t t)
  load("~/.emacs" t t)
  #[nil "................
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

If I set global-font-lock-mode once emacs started then no problem.

I can't undertand if the problem is related to py-pseudo-keyword-face
or not.

Thank you for any possible suggestion.
