A minimal emacs configuration for Python

To get everything working correctly,

Install emacs, git, and Python.
pip install jedi epc pylint
git clone this repository
Start emacs with emacs -Q (to not load your emacs' local initializations)
In emacs,
1. Visit the file init.el
2. In that file, run M-x eval-buffer

If everything works as expected (as during this EuroPython 2013 presentation of an earlier version of this repo's code), you'll get

all the needed emacs packages installed (via the default emacs package management functionality)
a productive configuration for Python and git
