Hi Pablo,

congratulations using Emacs.
Emacs is built to be extensible - which is really a joy.
However, things are changing everywhere, making all these parts work together 
is a ongoing task.

When new to Emacs, strongly recommend to stick with the stuff delivered.
If Python exists at your machine, work with it - don't install other stuff.
Beside you may load python-mode.el just as is.
No Pymacs is required for it's core function.

Maybe get a current python-mode.el:

Please file questions at
https://answers.launchpad.net/python-mode

and report bugs at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-mode

BTW Pymacs needs to be compiled using make.

Cheers,

Andreas
