Put something like this in your .emacs file:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist
      (cons '("python" . python-mode)
            interpreter-mode-alist))
(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python hacking mode." t)
(defun my-python-mode-hook ()
  (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
  )
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my-python-mode-hook)

(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
