summary: I'm trying to steal the config for a python development
environment for emacs (PDEE). I believe I've mostly got one, except
when I open *.py I get

*Messages*
> File mode specification error: (void-function auto-complete-mode)

and auto-complete fails. How to fix or do better?

details:

I'm currently running 

GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0)
of 2009-09-27 on crested, modified by Debian

on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10. I'm starting to code python (specifically 2.6.4)
more seriously, so I'm trying to setup a PDEE. I'd really like a python
equivalent of JDEE, but I'd settle for, e.g., the ability to run tests
in one buffer and navigate to errors in source. Some of Ryan McGuire's
blog posts

http://www.enigmacurry.com/2008/05/09/emacs-as-a-powerful-python-ide/
http://www.enigmacurry.com/2009/01/19/my-emacs-config-on-github/

are often recommended as a way to setup a PDEE, and would be great
for beginners, but

* They includes lotsa utilities. I prefer installing ubuntu packages.

* I've already got a substantial init.el and associated elisp.

so I'm trying to transplant the happy bits (as he recommends in the
first post) from his emacs config on github (which is another great idea
I've gotta steal) into my emacs config. I believe I've *mostly* gotten
that, thusly:

0 Ensure current ubuntu packages are up-to-date:

$ sudo aptitude update

1 Install additional ubuntu packages: I (apparently) needed

automake
cedet-common
cedet-contrib
emacs-jabber
git-core
libgconf2-dev
pymacs
python-rope
python-ropemacs
texinfo

2 Install auto-complete: not found in ubuntu package search, so I

* downloaded from 

http://cx4a.org/pub/auto-complete/auto-complete-1.2.tar.bz2

  (apparently the latest version)

* installed per its User Manual

http://cx4a.org/software/auto-complete/manual.html#Installation_Script

* hooked into my init.el (more below)

3 "install" python.el by copying from McGuire's setup (downloaded to
  /tmp with `git`)

$ cp -r /tmp/.emacs.d/vendor/dave-loves-python-mode /home/tlroche/.emacs.d/site-lisp/

4 "install" McGuire's ryan-python.el, i.e.

* copy/modify:

$ cp /tmp/.emacs.d/ryan-python.el /home/tlroche/.emacs.d/tlrPython.el

  and edit tlrPython.el (more below), adding attribution and tweaking
  `add-to-list 'load-path`

* byte-compiled tlrPython.el

* hooked it into my init.el

5 restart emacs: no errors while loading my desktop.

6 C-x C-f a python file: the minibuffer modeline says

> (Python Fill)

  and recognizes the file under svn (and the psvn color button is
  working), but I also get

*Messages*
> File mode specification error: (void-function auto-complete-mode)

  and attempting an autocomplete with TAB gets

*Messages*
> Symbol's function definition is void: yas/expand [2 times]

So I'm wondering, how to fix? or is there a better way to do this?
FWIW I have (comments mostly omitted, for brevity)
