More information was requested, but none was given within 15 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug.

Package: emacs
Version: 26.3

Python mode load is failing due to some issue with tramp.  Likely a
loaddefs issue or something similar.  To reproduce, simply visit
a file with a .py extension.

Stack trace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable tramp-default-user-alist)
  (member x tramp-default-user-alist)
  (if (member x tramp-default-user-alist) tramp-default-user-alist (setq tramp-default-user-alist (cons x tramp-default-user-alist)))
  (let* ((x (cons (concat "\\`" (regexp-opt (quote ("su" "sudo" "doas" "ksu"))) "\\'") (quote (nil "root"))))) (if (member x tramp-default-user-alist) tramp-default-user-alist (setq tramp-default-user-alist (cons x tramp-default-user-alist))))
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*-849947> nil "/usr/share/emacs/26.3/lisp/net/tramp-sh.el" nil t)  ; Reading at buffer position 15068

  funcall-interactively(find-file "~/WWW/irker/irkerhook.py" t)
  call-interactively(find-file nil nil)
  command-execute(find-file)

There's a workaround: deleting (require 'tramp-sh) from early in
python.el. Of course this disables some remote features.
