I think you understood correctly.  I'm not sure what version of which 
Python-mode I have, but could probably figure it out somehow (I love 
emacs, because it has extensions, but I'm not real good at writing or 
understanding elisp: I use other people's extensions, mostly, and a bit 
of cut-n-paste programming for a few more customizations).

Probably the following message, that I get every time I open the file.

"Warning: no abbrev-file found, customize `abbrev-file-name' in order to 
make mode-specific abbrevs work."

And I find the following line in my .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "d:/my/py/emacs/python-mode.el-6.1.1")
