pymode.sl in version 2.1.5 2007-06-21 from jedmodes should
not exhibit the problem, as the line enabling DFA syntax highlight is
commented out::

  %%% DFA_CACHE_END %%%
  % enable_dfa_syntax_for_mode(mode);
  #endif

To check whether DFA or traditional highlight is used, look at a multi
line string like """this is 
                    an example"""

* in tradition highlight, the whole string should be coloured in "string
  colour".
* in DFA highlight, the content of the string should be "normal" and only
  the """ in "string colour".

Strange. Unfortunately, this is too complex for me to sort it out easily.
Also, it does not throw an error here, if I put 

define python_mode_hook()
{
   % ... other settings ...
   disable_dfa_syntax_for_mode("python");
   use_syntax_table("python");
}

in my ~/.jed/jed.rc file.

This might be due to pymode.sl overwriting your setting when it is loaded.

Also, after a lot of wondering and experimenting, I found that the
(enable|disable)_dfa_syntax_highlight() commands only take effect after a
new call to use_syntax_table().

This is important after every change to the dfa highlight rules, i.e.
after applying Jörgs fix (which is the better solution anyway).

What happens after an M-X disable_dfa_syntax_for_mode("python"); given
interactive after loading the *.py file?

* Does the colour of a multi-line string change?
* Does the display of an Umlaut change?

What happens after an additional M-X use_syntax_table("python") ?

I hope this helps,
