I stuck this into the *scratch* buffer, C-j didn't 
work so I did eval-region to it. Now I get the 
error reported as below. Hmmm ... 

Seems I'm in python-mode, however this is a Lisp 
of Emacs error - telling me .. something. 

Seems I should hit the Emacs manual. Unless any 
further hints. My assumption is that Emacs should 
be great for Python work. 



Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep cpython)
  py-execute-region(1 278 nil)
  py-execute-buffer(nil)
* call-interactively(py-execute-buffer)
