The CEDET support for python parsing (which would handle autocompletion 
type tasks amonng others) is also (as far as I know) held up by a 
copyright assignment.

Exuberent ctags supports python (though I don't know by how much), and 
adding support in the CEDET/Semantic exuberant ctags support wouldn't be 
too hard.  Likely something like the patch attached.

Hmmm.  I see that the exuberent ctags support does not appear to be a 
part of Emacs.  Well, you could try the most recently posted version of 
CEDET with the below patch instead if you wanted to try it.
