Funny how those typos are obvious to me now but slipped by when I
wrote them. I wrote that the option setting should be put in

~/.vim/after/python.vim or ~/.vim/after/python/python.vim

when of course those should be

~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python.vim or
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/python/python.vim

I hope I didn't add to anyone's confusion.
