Hi Ahimsa,

There are some instructions on setting up python-mode here:

    http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode/installation.html

The instructions there will set up Emacs so that, when we open up '.py'
files, Emacs will switch into python-mode automatically.


If you're trying to learn Emacs, you may find the embedded tutorial useful
--- try typing "C-h t"  (Control h, followed by a 't'), which should bring
it up.

Good luck to you!
