I'm confused. Didn't I offer to do maintenance work, like for example
integrating Dave's bug fixes (if he agreed to it)?
I have actually spent quite some time digging through the current
python.el mode and tried to do some clean up and fix things. For
example, the inital integration of pdbtrack a couple of years ago left a
huge amount of duplication since it was never really cleaned up. For
example: why are there two different ways to invoke a python shell?

I looked at it and I like it. It actually fixes some issues that the
current python.el has, especially when it comes to things like
pdbtrack. I had some issues getting some of features to work (shell
completion, for example) but that might just be because I was using
24.0.50 and/or using it wrong.
I didn't have the time to compare the current python.el with Fabian's
version as far as features go, but I didn't really miss anything while
using Fabian's new mode today.

As far as python-mode.el goes...the discussion I started on this list
sparked another on the python-mode list:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-mode/2011-February/000937.html
This doesn't sound like we would get on the same page anytime soon.
