Hi all, IMO exists no easy way to merge at all here in general.
Proceedings differ; results and chances are only seen partly (at least for me). After all the only useful way I imagine is to regard form by form starting from an real issue/feature to implement. So my question would be: Do you see any feature in python.el, python-mode.el doesn't deliver?
