Thanks a lot.  I put this in `.emacs', and things are already nicer! :-)

Good idea.  I made it automatic this way:


(defadvice py-execute-buffer (before display-py-shell-for-buffer activate)
  (let ((buffer (get-buffer "*Python*")))
    (when buffer
      (save-excursion
	(pop-to-buffer buffer)))))

(defadvice py-execute-region (before display-py-shell-for-region activate)
  (let ((buffer (get-buffer "*Python*")))
    (when buffer
      (save-excursion
	(pop-to-buffer buffer)))))


To be complete, I guess I should also learn how to test if the Python
process is active, and avoid popping its buffer when it is not.  Better
might be to find a way for re-activating the Python process on the fly.
Why would Python die, now that `C-c C-c' has been rebound to `C-c C-s'?
Hmph!  It still happens, whenever I execute `sys.exit(N)' in a script.
Nevertheless, the light is brighter already.  Thanks for having helped me!
