That's not good practice. You should write your python-mode settings to
a single hook function and add function's "name" to the
python-mode-hook. For example, put these lines in your .emacs file:

    (add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'my-python-mode-hook)

    (defun my-python-mode-hook ()
      (define-key python-mode-map "\C-m" 'newline-and-indent)
      (define-key python-mode-map [S-return] 'newline))

Now if you need to change the settings you can just edit the function
and evaluate it with C-M-x.

(Note that python-mode-hook is a variable which may contain your
previous hook experiments "(lambda ...)" if you haven't restarted your
Emacs session. You should set the variable to nil before evaluating the
above code or you can just restart Emacs.)

Note that I used [S-return], not "S-return". See Peter's message once
again.
