How to run python script in emacs

[Sells, Fred]

Here is the .emacs file I place at c:\ on xp.  I don't understand it and
cannot explain it.  It was developed by a few guys I worked with 20
years ago and still does the job.  Probably quite obsolete by now, but
if it ain't broke...
In response to your "what do you mean"
With the cursor in a python buffer (and the mode must say python).  Hold
down the control key and hit the "c" key twice.
