the one that comes close is  "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/progmodes"
in it there is no file about python-mode.elc or any thing for python
for that matter. with debian, I'd rather not start compiling my own
emacs from source because my in-ability to understand how the rest of
the system interact with emacs and visa-versa and how to satisfy that
not to have any future problems. I got python-mode-1.0.tar.gz and in
it there is 
doctest-mode.el  
pycomplete.el	
pycomplete.py  
python-mode.el
semantic.cache

should I just move python-mode.el to ../progmodes/ and compile? as it
said in the installation instruction in python-mode.el?
if so, could you tell me how to compile the file so that it is .elc
like all the other files in progmodes?

thank you
