Bug#948569: elpa-elpy: elpy-find-file: Symbol’s value as variable is void: ffip-prune-patterns

[Salman Mohammadi <salman@smoha.org>]

Dear Nicholas,

sorry, I had two mistakes in my previous bug report,


Steps to reproduce:

1. install the needed packages in Debian Sid:

    $ sudo apt install elpa-elpy elpa-find-file-in-project

2. open emacs and activate python-mode

    M-x python-mode

3. activate elpy-mode

    M-x elpy-mode

4. run the following command

    C-c C-f
