thanks! i actually had found that eariler, but i forgot to start
using it because M-m is a somewhat awkward key combination. but
now i've rebound it.

anyone want to share the python-related .emacs tweaks they are using?
here are some from mine:
(i have recycled my caps lock to work as a hyper key,
change modifier to taste)

  -- erno

(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(global-set-key [?\H-l] 'goto-line)
(global-set-key [\H-left] 'back-to-indentation)
(global-set-key [\H-right] 'end-of-line)

;; this is in global keymap so that i can open C-x C-f ~/bin/quick-hack
;; and hit H-M-p
(global-set-key [?\H-\M-p] 'py-template)

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (define-key py-mode-map [?\H-d] 'py-module-doc)))

;; when you have something for reference in the other window
(global-set-key [C-next] 'scroll-other-window)
(global-set-key [C-prior] 'scroll-other-window-down)

(defun py-template ()
  "Insert a python program skeleton"
  (interactive)
  (insert
   "#!/usr/bin/env python\n"
   "# -*- mode: python; py-indent-offset: 4; indent-tabs-mode: f -*-\n"
   "import os, sys, string\n"
   "\n"
   "def main():\n"
   "    pass\n"
   "\n"
   "if __name__ == '__main__':\n"
   "    try:\n"
   "        main()\n"
   "    except KeyboardInterrupt:\n"
   "        sys.exit('%s: break' % os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]))\n")
  (python-mode))

(defun py-module-doc (module-name)
  "Open a netscape window showing the documentation for the requested module"
  (interactive "smodule name: ")
  (shell-command (format "gnome-moz-remote "
                         "'http://www.cwi.nl/www.python.org/doc/current/"
                         "lib/module-%s.html'"
                         module-name)))
