Fat lot of good that did me ;-)

I tried monkey-see-monkey-do-ing from python.el and so far have this in 
my .emacs file:

;; menu items
(defvar chris-mode-map
  (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
    (easy-menu-define python-menu map "Python Mode menu"
      `("Python"
        :help "Python-specific Features"
        "-"
        ["Comment" python-shift-left :active mark-active
         :help "Comment"]
        ["Uncomment" python-shift-right :active mark-active
         :help "Uncomment"]))
    map))

Which, while it doesn't error, also does nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

cheers,

Chris
