Options->Troubleshooting->Debug on Error
Then provoke the problem and show us the backtrace. We need to know
which code is calling the looking-back function which, as far as I
know, has never been ported from Emacs.
Hi,
IIRC sent a patch implementing it around two years ago.
Maybe the GPLv3 question blocked it that time.
Provided it inside python-mode.el for now, so it should not be an issue
there.

Like `looking-at' except matches before point, and is slower.
LIMIT if non-nil speeds up the search by specifying a minimum
starting position, to avoid checking matches that would start
before LIMIT.
If GREEDY is non-nil, extend the match backwards as far as possible,
stopping when a single additional previous character cannot be part
of a match for REGEXP."
