Emacs Python-mode throws a format-message error

I am using Ubuntu 15.10 and Emacs 24. but recently when i open a Python source file in Emacs or create a new one, i get an error:

symbol's function definition is void: format-message

The file is opened as a Fundamental.

edit: this error only happens if i use my custom .emacs file.

I asked the question in some IRC group's and came up with an answer... it seemed that elpa Python.el package, tries to load a file that is not python and is C++...

I just had to delete the file and it worked again.

I'm not sure why that's failing, but perhaps we can fix this problem by writing our own format-message. Try putting this in your .emacs:

(defun format-message (s &rest args)
  (message (apply 'format s args)))
