Off the top of my head:
* python-mode.el did not play well with transient-mark-mode
(mark-block didn't work). transient-mark-mode highlights the marked
region and is required for other functions (e.g. comment-dwim).
* python-mode.el had problems with syntax highlighting in the
presence of triple quoted strings and in comments. python.el does
not.
* python.el is supposed to be more consistent with other major modes.
e.g. M-; for comment.
* python.el ships with emacs. There are claims that python-mode.el
was not as well maintained for FSF emacs as XEmacs.
