Hmm! See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonMode
where is says:
"""
Emacs post version 21 has its own python mode (python.el). This is
enabled by default for .py files so you don?t have to add anything to
your InitFile to use it.
"""
I believe the statement above is incorrect. I had to use the
require form - I.E. (require 'python) to activate the syntax
highlighting.
