title: emacs python mode preferences
body: <p>I 'm just starting to use Python, but I'm a very experienced emacs user. I'd trying to decide between python.el and python-mode.el (or any other equivalent mode people can suggest).</p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm leaning strongly towards python-mode.el, mainly because it has a useful "indent-region" method... </p>
  
  <p>However, there's a couple of features of C-mode that I seem to lack in both modes which is go to the next/previous function (c-beginning-of-defun) (this differs from py-goto-block-up in that 1) there is no py-goto-block-down, and 2) you can use c-b.... to scroll up through multiple functions, but the py-.. only goes out levels)</p>
  
  <p>Also, since C has braces, etc, it's easy to find the beginning/end of a current section. py-goto-block-up gives me the beginning of a block, but there is no equivalent for the end of the block...</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
