Incompatibility between 0.9.4 and python-mode

[Philippe Charpentier]

Symptoms:

I was trying to use the native python-mode in Aquamacs, then fetch the
"official" one and observed the following behaviour:

* with the standard python-mode, I can interpret a file in the python 
interpreter, but the content of this file doesn't load in the global scope 
(i.e. I cannot execute a method from the source file from the python prompt).

* I hence saw on the wiki that one could use the standard python-mode.el, hence 
I downloaded it and followed the instructions. Few typos in the instructions 
(third line  should read "python-mode" and not "python_mode" as well as 
"Application\ Support" and not "Application/ Support". This said, I tried 
and... it fails with an error on font-lock-keyword-face

* I downloaded 0.9.1 and with the same python-mode.el installation it works... 
The drawback is that 0.9.1 doesn't have many of the goodies of 0.9.4 ;-( and 
0.9.3 has disappeared from sourceforge
