The Aquamacs web page describes the process:
http://aquamacs.org/reporting-bugs.shtml
(Steps 3 / 4 do not necessarily apply in your case.)
So, report bugs as step-by-step instructions to the aquamacs-bugs mailing list. You don't need to subscribe to that list.

As a minimum, we will need the crash log for this. ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ contains crash logs.

The Aquamacs change log contains a partial answer: we have a new Python mode.
It turns out that this mode doesn't have the variable `python-mode-map'.
I had a look at the new mode for you (python-mode.el). Inconsistently with Emacs traditions, they named the variable `py-mode-map' instead!
I have complained to the makers of python-mode.

It's a bug in python-mode.
I have complained to the makers of python-mode.
This is a direct result of the python-mode bug:

Please file a proper bug report.

Known problem. Checked in a fix just recently. Please try a nightly build tomorrow and report back if works for you.
