Subject: Python mode load failing due to some issue with tramp
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 10:48:17 -0400 (EDT)

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)

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

I cannot reproduce this, FWIW.  Is it possible that some file in your
~/.emacs.d directory (or some other init-related feature) gets in the
way?

P.S.  Did you try this in "emacs -Q"?

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