Re: python.el fixes for Emacs 22

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    it looks like the reason for the separate implementation of python.el
    had something to do with problems getting copyright assignments.

It is possible that our python.el is also older.
(I am not sure, just speculating.)  On the other hand, we might have
replaced it with python-mode.el by now if we could get papers for it.

    in any case, i *do* want to see pdb tracking included in whichever.
    as the author of the feature, i should be able to authorize its use
    wherever, and am frustrated with the twisty turns of events that have
    prevented that.

If you wrote the original version, we can install that
with papers from you alone.  (Just say that you consider
it a change to Emacs and your assignment will cover it.)

You could also give us any of your own subsequent changes.

Then others (or you) could implement replacements for subsequent
improvements.
