I would also like to try and fix as much as possible (due to lack of my time it may not end up being all that much, though) before the release. It should not cause any real problems since, as I said, nobody appears to be using the mode currently. I would really appreciate that, but we'd need you to sign legal papers before installing so much code from you. I will send you the form to get started. The other reason, probably even important, is that there is another python-mode, at http://sf.net/projects/python-mode Would the authors of that program like to contribute? It would be good to have unambiguous way of talking about those modes. Does anyone have a suggestion how to avoid confusion? Would saying "GNU python-mode" make sense? That would imply that the mode which is not installed in Emacs is "the" python-mode, and ours plays second fiddle.
