python-elisp: Menus don't work under emacs21 in
transient mark mode

Under Emacs 21, any attempt to access the menus
in
python-mode fails unless the mark is active, with the
message

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (mark-inactive)
signal(mark-inactive nil)
mark()

This happens only if transient-mark-mode (menu
item:
Options->Active Region Highlighting) is active and
'debug-on-error' is on.

No followup comments.
