	* progmodes/python.el (python-use-skeletons): python-mode was
	auto-inserting templates (for those with abbrev-mode on), not only
	by default -- *but without a configuration variable to disable
	it*.  This rendered python-mode completely useless for me, so I
	have added `python-use-skeletons', which is now off by default.
