All current emacsen have an enormous default configuration file compiled 
into them, as well as XEmacs having a way to run the initialisation code of 
packages at startup.  So the cc-mode initialisation (which is much larger 
than the python mode initialisation) is already there.  Had you been 
running an XEmacs, python mode would have been installed by default as well.
