Using abbrevs heavily with python-mode.el, you may give it a try.

https://launchpad.net/python-mode

As it doesn't unload python.el, it's a little bit strange seeing abbrevs working that way, but so it is.
BTW you should be able to run the python.el commands used to while
expanding python-mode.el based abbrevs.
