Re: Python mode and eldoc "freeze"

[Richard Stallman]

    When I move to any keyword in a python source file, expecting information 
to be
    shown in the minibuffer, emacs appears to freeze. I can't move point or type
    anything.

Please show us a specific source file to use as a test case,
and please say precisely where to put point.

I'm using the python-mode included with this version of emacs.

I have (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'turn-on-eldoc-mode).

When I move to any keyword in a python source file, expecting information to be
shown in the minibuffer, emacs appears to freeze. I can't move point or type
anything.

When I hit C-g, then the effects of all the typing I did during the "freeze"
appear. So if I hit C-u C-n while frozen, after C-g, point moves down 4 lines.

I tried toggle-debug-on-quit, but I didn't get a backtrace when I hit C-g.
