Hello,
I'm relatively new to emacs lisping, and I'm wondering how to go about
adding a but of functionality to python-mode. I want emacs to, whenever I
type '[tab]def <function name>(', automatically append the text 'self,
'.Thanks!

Here are the steps, you'll need to do:

- Define an interactive function with `defun'.
- Test for surrounding text with `looking-at'.
- Insert text with `insert'.
- Optionally do `indent-according-to-mode' otherwise.
- Bind function to tab.

Good luck.

Instead of giving you a specific solution, I guess you'd benefit more
from installing yasnippet so you can define your own snippets that
expand with tab or whatever.
There are also several snippets for python included.
