Hi there.  I was using emacs before without python-mode but I am new to 
xemacs.  I'd like to use python-mode and I think I've installed it 
properly but nothing noticeable seems to be happening when I open a 
python script.

I put the python mode code in:
~/.xemacs.d/plugins/python-mode.el-6.0.3

I put the following in my .xemacs/init.el file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.xemacs.d/plugins/python-mode.el-6.0.3")
(require '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)

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

When I open a .py file I get no syntax highlighting, no menu item.. 
nothing.  Could someone please help?  Thanks.
