I'm trying to try out elpy and have the following lines in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("elpy" . "http://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(defvar my-packages
'(elpy))
(dolist (p my-packages)
(when (not (package-installed-p p))
(package-install p)))
(elpy-enable)
On startup I get the message "Symbol's function definition is void: format-message." Has anyone else run into this issue?
This ended up being an issue with my setup. I had python.el installed as well, which resulted in the following debugger trace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function format-message)

After removing python.el, things seem to work.
