You do not need to install any extra package. Emacs (24.3 and 
above) comes with python-mode that has everything you might need.

You can read the commentary of the python mode to know everything 
you can do:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/progmodes/python.el

The only thing that you might want to add to your .emacs, if you 
use ipython, is:

(setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython"
     python-shell-interpreter-args "-i")

That's it =)

python with C-c C-p and then switch to the python shell with C-c 
C-z. To run the code in a buffer use C-c C-c. Check more by 
reading the mode info with C-h m.

Best,
