Go to Options. Near the bottom, it will say "Edit Init.File"  Click on
it.

Make an entry on a separate line near the top as follows

into "python mode"

If you read the init.el file it will teach you a little about how to
configure it. If you don't care about that and only want a python
editor, then just add the line above.
