The newer versions of GNU Emacs include `python-mode' in the core Emacs
distribution, so you might want to try the editors/emacs-devel port :)
The distfiles of this port are generated from CVS snapshots of Emacs
22.X, which is going to be the next release of GNU Emacs. This version
of Emacs still has a few rough edges (i.e. the GTK+ UI crashes on
FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT), but it has worked remarkably well for several
months here.
If you give it a try, please let me know, as all the testing we can get
is nice.
