Emacs Goodies

Here is a slightly random collection of Emacs goodies, some of which will help you with your Python programming. Most work for both the latest XEmacs 20 and 21 and GNU Emacs 20 and 21 versions, and some even work for XEmacs 19 and GNU Emacs 19, with a little work. Note that as of version 22, GNU Emacs has a new Python mode, python.el.
