There's a python-mode distributed with Python[1]. It of course takes 
care of indentation and syntax-hiliting, but also allows to run a Python 
interpreter in another buffer, and to send either the whole or part of 
the python file you're editing to it.

pdb is also well integrated : you have the pdb prompt in the Python 
interpreter buffer, and sync with the current line in the python file's 
buffer.

If you want to turn your emacs into a full-blown IDE, just add ECB 
(Emacs Code browser) to the mix, and you'll have files and code explorer 
too.



[1] latest emacs version also have one which I haven't tested yet - does 
someone knows the differences BTW ?.
