Emacs Problem

Hi Everyone,
I recently tried to upgrade my copy of Emacs so that it could handle java, haskell, python, etc. I did the normal "emerge -v app-emacs/python-mode" and so forth, but when I load up Emacs, and attempt to access one of the modes that I supposedly just installed (either automatically by opening a .py file, or manualy with "M-x python-mode") Emacs just spits out "[No match]". Even the Tab-completion list doesn't have any entries for them. Did I screw up royally? Or, does emacs have some sort of extra bit of evil that's keeping me from easily adding extra modes to it? Like some sort of hidden config file, maybe?

Thanks for your help,
rhat

I'm also trying to emerge python-mode for emacs, but am having a different problem. It keeps telling me that the build is masked:
