[Python-mode] color syntax highlighting?

[James Hartley]

I've recently switched to Emacs & have been impressed with
python-mode.elfound at SourceForge.  Thanks to everyone involved with
its development.

However as a newbie, how is color syntax highlighting enabled?  Searching
through Google shows that coloring is already done within python-mode.el,
but I'm not seeing it when running emacs -nw within aterm on X.  Any insight
which can be passed on would be appreciated.
