Brian, my primary question(s) are how to best configure Emacs for
Python development. Is the existing major mode for Python sufficient
for my needs in your opinion? When I have done some Googling, another
major mode for Python has been mentioned. However, when I go to the
Emacs help manual mention is only made of one. There has also been
mention of what I presume are external Lisp modules that add
additional functionality to either Python major mode. Are any of these
worth pursuing? What type of configuration do you use?

Currently I have deferred Python study to work through a few chapters
of my Emacs books, so I can start to get comfortable with the keyboard
movement and editing commands. Once I feel semi-comfortable with these
then I will more thoroughly investigate configuration options for
Python within Emacs.

Hope you are enjoying your travel time!
