Interesting :)

Here is another way to do it:

Create a file, e.g. display.py .

Open it in Emacs. Notice that the file
extention is used to automatically put the
editor in Python mode (defined in python.el).

Now, write the following:

    def display_string():
        print("This string is for display purposes ONLY.")

    display_string()

Watch out! "display_string" is in
`font-lock-function-name-face'!
