Font-locking comment delimiter in python.el

[Henrik Jegbjerg Hansen]

I have a problem with python.el in GNU Emacs 22.0.93.1.  The comment
starter (#) is not font-locked, and I don't know of a way to fix this -- 
I am not familiar with how syntax-tables work, and it seems this is what
I need to do.

I don't want the whole comment line red; I know this is
(set-face-foreground `font-lock-comment-face "red").  I just want the
'#' to be red.  Can anyone help?

BTW, is this a bug in python.el?

I switched from the external python-mode.el to python.el because the
latter provides eldoc functionality.

Thanks,
Henrik Jegbjerg Hansen
