To say I "use" emacs would be an understatement. I *live* in emacs.

Personally, I have been using GNU Emacs's new python mode since I
discovered it, and I've never encountered any of the bugs you just
described. (Perhaps you are describing bugs that arise from trying to
use it with XEmacs?) I have, however, found that it is *less* buggy in
certain circumstances; it seems to indent parentheses correctly in more
circumstances, and it isn't confused by triple-quoted strings. It also
has functioning support for which-func-mode which python-mode.el doesn't
seem to (a hack which displays the current scope on the modeline, which
is very helpful for long classes: I can just glance down and see
"FooBarBaz.bozBuz()" rather than needing to hit "C-M-r ^class"
As always, YMMV.
Also, I use twisted-dev.el for all of my Python development. I don't
think I'll ever be able to go back to F9 doing anything but running
tests for the current buffer. Apparently there's a "ctypes-dev" based
on those hacks in the main Python repository which basically does the
same thing. (I'd also strongly recommend binding F5 to 'next-error'.
It makes hopping around in the error stack nice and easy.)
Finally, for you Ubuntu developers, I'm also using the the pre-release
XFT GNU emacs, which is very pretty. So far, despite stern and dire
warnings, it has had no stability issues:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/XftGnuEmacs
Look for the "PPA" deb lines there, and you get a nicely prepackaged,
policy-compliant version of emacs with no need to build anything
yourself.
(I've also got a personal collection of hacks that, if anyone likes
TextMate-style "snippets", I'll email you. It does stuff like turning
""" into """\n(indent)\n"""\n and "class " into "class (cursor
here):\n"""\n(indent)\n"""\n(indent)\n". I haven't cleaned it up for a
public release since a lot of people seem to think that automatically
inserting text is pretty obnoxious and I just don't have the energy for
that debate.)
