I think xemacs is a nearly dead project. I recommend gnu-emacs ("emacs" or "emacs-cvs" in the repos, differences between that two should be small now). It is very actively maintained and has a friendly community. http://www.nabble.com/Emacs-f1569.html

Re: emacs or xemacs for python[Solved]

There are /two/ python plugins. On "official" emacs-plugin (bundled with Emacs) and one distributed by Python. They cannot be merge since whoever wrote the Python-Python mode didn't want to publish it under GPL or something like that (there is a long thread about it somewhere on usenet).

To summarize:
pyhton.el is included in emacs 23.
python-mode.el can be obtained from:
https://launchpad.net/python-mode
Or you could install emacs-python-mode from [community]

I checked the link https://launchpad.net/python-mode and it states that python mode plugin is licensed gpl3. Anyway thanks every one for the help.
