You rang? :)

I spoke about this at the PyCon in Pune 
http://urtalk.kpoint.com/kapsule/gcc-500259cd-2a03-4d86-9f50-ef6d40a39956

This covers most of the Python specific stuff which I used back then
along with a little on how I organise my work. 

For Git, there's magit[1] and no competition. You should install it
using package.el which is something I used to recommend against but am
now quite convinced by it.

For basic configuration stuff, prelude is recommended these days instead
of the Emacs starter kit. http://batsov.com/prelude/. I'd recommend
making your own config and building it up from there. More yak shaving
involved but you learn how to really use Emacs in the process. I've
outlined it in

http://emacsmovies.org/blog/2012/08/05/customisation_part_1/
and
http://emacsmovies.org/blog/2012/08/25/customisation_part_2/

I can't think of anything else off the cuff but these should be a good
starting point.
