Thanks for the tips.  I use xemacs for everythnig, but I know next to nothing 
about configuring it, so I'm not of much help here.

Well, I think all the changes in python-mode.el which Alex Schmolck made for 
ipython, have been sent upstream to the python-mode maintainers.  So if 
someone is using a recent (possibly CVS) version of pyhton-mode.el, they 
should be ok and a simple

(require 'ipython)

should suffice.

Alex, could you correct me if the above is incorrect?

But it's quite possible that the python-mode.el distributed with various 
public releases of (X)emacs is still a bit behind, and in that case it may 
require some manual tweaks to make sure that you get the new one loaded 
instead of the default.

Best,
