bug fix to python.el when pressing C-c C-z

bug fix to python.el when pressing C-c C-z

[Benjamin Rutt]

I don't like it when I am editing python in a recently started emacs
and I want to press C-c C-z to show my current python buffer, and I
haven't done M-x run-python yet, and I get an error:

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil 

Since `(get-buffer python-buffer)' from the code below can't be
evaluated yet, as `python-buffer' is nil.

This bugfix/enhancement starts up python if it isn't started already
via run-python and fixes this bug.  Anyone care to review and commit
this if it seems OK?  Thanks,

Benjamin Rutt
