FWIW, Python support in Emacs is muddled.  GNU Emacs comes with python.el
which is an alternative implementation that shares some features with, but
also has differences to, python-mode.el.  Many of us hard-core Python Emacsers
prefer the latter, but sadly the FSF won't bundle it and a merge has proven
impossible so far.

I think I'll replace Misc/python-mode.el with Misc/README.Emacs that attempts
to discuss the issue in a neutral way.  I'll fix this in Python 2.7, 3.1, and
3.2.

Thanks,
