This seem to be a known problem.
When I was searching around to solve this problem, I encountered this thread,
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-October/133579.html,
which discuss the same problem. But doesn't seem to have a solution
other than adding the statements in the local .emacs file.
If anyone of you have solved this please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi,
To install python mode in emacs 21.4 on Openbsd4.0 I have byte-compiled
the python-mode.el and dropped in the directory path
/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/progmodes/ and the directory is in
`load-path'.
The autoload function definition:
(autoload 'python-mode python-mode Python editing mode. t)
and the other definitions:
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(\\.py$ . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist (cons '(python . python-mode)
interpreter-mode-alist))
work when put in ~/.emacs, and I can do M-x python mode, and it
automatically opens *.py files in python mode.
How do I make the changes site-wide or global?
If I put the above three statements in a .el file and drop in one of
the directories in `load-path', it does not seem to work.
I tried putting in, `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/site-lisp/',
`/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/', I even tried adding the above
statements in `/usr/local/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/loaddefs.el', but even
that did not seem to work.
Is there any way, I can make these changes global?
Thanks,
sac.
