While I understand Andreas reply, we should not loose sight that Python
users do not necessarily want to know that much about Emacs.  There is a
quite a long way between starting Emacs to edit Python code, and knowing
about Emacs variables, discovering M-x functions like describe-variable
(there are so many of these functions, and so many ways to get help),
and load-path details.

To develop python-mode, knowing Emacs more deeply is inescapable. To use
python-mode, we should expect about nothing from user knowledge about
Emacs Lisp.

So, for any basic "good question", this is python-mode's README that
should tell you.  It should be sufficient to get fully started.
