 functionality such as more intelligent indentation, electricity,
 support for more variants, including Mercury, and a lot more.
 
+** Python mode has been replaced with fgallina's python.el.
+Per-buffer shells, solid automatic indentation, Python 2 and 3 support
+out of the box, a revamped shell interaction compatible with iPython
+(and virtually any other text based shell) plus other goodies are
+provided.
+
+*** Defcustom replacements.

+
+*** Removed defcustoms.
+
+`python-indent-string-contents': Strings are never indented.
+
+`python-honour-comment-indentation': Comments are never considered as
+indentation markers themselves.
+
+`python-continuation-offset': Removed, indentation is automatically
+calculated in a pep8 compliant way depending on the context.
+
+`python-shell-prompt-alist', `python-shell-continuation-prompt-alist':
+Have no direct mapping as the shell interaction is completely
+different.
+
+`python-python-command', `python-jython-command': Are somehow replaced
+by `python-shell-interpreter'.
+
+`inferior-python-filter-regexp', `python-remove-cwd-from-path': Have
+no mapping whatsoever, they are removed.
+
+`python-pdbtrack-minor-mode-string': Removed, pdbtracking has no minor
+mode for it.
+
+`python-source-modes': Removed, This mode makes no distinction between
+jython and python files.
