Re: python-mode.el doesn't associate python-mode with .PY files

[Richard Stallman]

    What was the conclusion on how to associate .PY files with python-mode?
    And what about .TXT files, .HTM files, .TAR files, and so on?

I think it is a mistake to do that, in general.
I would not object to a user option to enable such matching,
but it should not be enabled by default.
