I get the error as well when I load Emacs with -Q.  I get the error
when I do find-library python eval-buffer before loading any .py
files.  Find library points to python.el.gz in
/usr/share/emacs/24.4.50/lisp/progmodes/.  When I do M-: (md5
(current-buffer)) in python.el.gz I get
ce0db2157b281b8ac7cb8461da88caa7.  There's no age difference:

  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134983 Sep 29 14:10 python.elc
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  41279 Sep 29 14:00 python.el.gz


Note that for the error to come, I must start the python-shell first
(C-c C-z).

I had to rename my bzr folder to get the other branch so I doubt it.

See above.

I get this backtrace now which have new stuff (below).

The error occurs here:

(let* ((last-prompt-end (cdr (python-util-comint-last-prompt)))
         (import-statement
          (when (string-match-p
                 (rx (* space) word-start (or "from" "import") word-end space)
                 (buffer-substring-no-properties last-prompt-end (point)))

Last-prompt-end (and thus (python-util-comint-last-prompt)) is nil but
should be a character position according to the docstring.  But
last-prompt-end is just comint-last-prompt is emacs24.  And it's nil.
I'm guessing it shouldn't be.  Why?  No clue. . .

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
  buffer-substring-no-properties(nil 4)
  (string-match-p "[[:space:]]*\\<\\(?:from\\|import\\)\\>[[:space:]]"

  (if (string-match-p "[[:space:]]*\\<\\(?:from\\|import\\)\\>[[:space:]]"

  (let* ((last-prompt-end (cdr (python-util-comint-last-prompt)))

 last-prompt-end t 1)) last-prompt-end (forward-char (length
