Well, it doesn't cause any harm to add to your ~/.emacs

;; Add python-mode
(autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
(setq auto-mode-alist
  (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

I don't know. But having Emacs auto-load every mode from there
doesn't seem a good idea. And the port can't do that either, since
it's a per-user decision.
