Neither python-describe-symbol nor etc/emacs2.py exist in Emacs any more
from 24.3 onwards. It looks like the replacement is
python-eldoc-at-point. This issue might be fixed now, but there is no
recipe to reproduce it, so I cannot say. Maybe you could try the latest
pretest 24.2.9x from http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ and let us
know.
