Remember that in Lisp, a quoted symbol just evaluates to the symbol. So what
happens in your code is that when "python.el" is loaded, three sexps are
evaluated: the `progn`, the quoted symbol `'elpy` and the call to
`pyvenv-activate`.
The form *appears* to work because you probably load elpy whenever you open a
Python file, so you don't notice what's really going on. You'd have to
experiment with two packages that are completely independent from each other.
BTW, `with-eval-after-load` doesn't need `progn`. That was one of the reasons
for introducing `with-eval-after-load` as an alternative for `eval-after-load`.
