The way I look at it is that python-mode pretty much does what most  
of us developing it want it to do, so there's little incentive to  
keep hacking on it.  I do occasionally add support for new keywords  
and such (Python 2.5's with-statement being a recent addition).   
Other than that, not much development is going on, but we certainly  
welcome new blood if someone wants to start working on it again.
