py-mode-map isn't used any more. Probably you loaded ipython.el , which isn't needed any more also.
Not loading ipython.el should solve it. Will re-install a defvaralias lost by mistake, which should avoid that error anyway. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the response. If you look at my .emacs I have commented the loading of ipython. That didn't fix it, do I need to remove anything else?

Thanks

do you get it still with latest trunk? Provided a

(defvaralias 'py-mode-map 'python-mode-map)

you should not get this error anymore.
