python-mode & emacs22

Currently seeing problems installing the debian python-mode package
for emacs22, which comes with its own python-mode. Seeing that the
last python-mode release is from 2005 ... which python-mode should
users prefer for emacs22, which one for the other emacsens? Will there
be a new release for python-mode?

Matthias,

Barry and I have both been busy with other stuff for quite awhile.  I don't
know when we'll get around to a new release.

I'm not entirely sure why the GNU Emacs folks rolled their own python-mode
from scratch, but you might give it a try and see how it works for you.  If
it's better (for some unspecified definition of "better") maybe it would
make sense to port it to XEmacs.

My understanding is that they wanted to include your python mode, but
were unable to, for copyright assignment reasons.

They may have thought that, but it's not true.
