No, they both bind the Enter key in Python mode only, but the Wiki
solution requires that you load python.el in your .emacs, before you
bind the key, because otherwise python-mode-map is not defined, and
Emacs will barf.

The add-hook method is the better one, because it binds the key
whenever a buffer enters the Python mode, exactly when you need that.
