Install python-mode. Then, you can run the command
font-lock-fontify-buffer to highlight the buffer.
Or, you could set up emacs to always use syntax highlighting. The relevant
parts of my .emacs (both syntax highlight and python-mode):

;;;;;;;;;;;;; 8< ; cut here ; 8< ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Enable syntax highlighting

(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)

;; Enable Python mode

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode)
            auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist
      (cons '("python" . python-mode)
            interpreter-mode-alist))

(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
