Hmmm, that looks strange... Did you try to remove the .elc, and then
re-bye-compile, it worked for me, when I had problems.
And with adding a (load "python-mode") or thing like that in your
.emacs, so that it loads the mode (slows Emacs a bit, though) at each
startup...

You can know the load path ( C-h v load-path ), and I think that most of
the files in the path are loaded. You can even modify it, but I don't
know why your python mode doesn't start if you set up the things
correctly...
