There are two competing python modes for emacs, python-mode.el (which is
what you are talking about IIUC) and python.el which comes with the
emacs distro. I was using python-mode.el for a while and I always seemed
to have small annoyances crop up at a regular rate (although I must
admit, I never did much to improve the situation: they usually cropped
up when I was under time pressure, so I would just bulldoze my way
through - by the time I *could* do something about it, I had forgotten
what the annoyance was - until the next time something bit me...)

So at some point, I chucked it and started using the built-in python.el.
I'm sure it too has its share of faults, but so far at least (I've been
using it for the past year or so), I don't remember being really annoyed
with it, so I'm sticking with it.

My 2 cents and of course, YMMV.
