I changed my .emacs file to only contain the lines

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
     (setq imenu-create-index-function 'python-imenu-create-index)))

even though I see that python.el also sets imenu-create-index-function 
to python-imenu-create-index.

But in a python buffer, (C-h v) gives

imenu-create-index-function is a variable defined in `imenu.el'.
Its value is semantic-create-imenu-index
Local in buffer tmp.py; global value is
imenu-default-create-index-function

So it looks like semantic is mucking things up?  The 
semantic-create-imeu-index function is defined in imenu.el.

My .emacs file is pretty bare, so I'm not sue how semantic could be 
turned on unless it's on by default.  In that case I'm not sure how to 
turn it off.

Thanks for your reply.
