As far as shipped python.el reaches, python-mode.el follows it's path and provides it's features.
Most of python.el is merged, so it's basically a subset of python-mode.el now.

The diff in short is twofold:

- python-mode.el delivers much more, finer grained commands. Have a look at the menu.
- python-mode.el allows to specify a full path/to/local/Python --also on the fly--, instead of the need
  to customize default shell again and again. Should allow to switch easily between virtualenvs.

the first is already in the pipe, with several bug-reports around.

As for the structure parsing some specification is useful.

Please make a Blueprint for your requests at

Thanks,

All people are free to use it, as it GPL v3

If GPL is not good enough, what a kind of signal does it send?
