I agree that ob-python.el should only rely on functionality from
python.el, and shouldn't need to know about other packages. This will
reduce the maintenance burden for ourselves.

At the same time, I would like the user to use whatever Python-related
modes they like when editing the org Python source buffer, such as
python-mode.el, elpy, etc., without issue. That doesn't mean that we'll
put workarounds and references to external packages in ob-python.el, but
rather that we'd keep ob-python simple and easy for external packages to
interop with.

I think this is more or less the case today, and we're on the same page
here. Just wanted to make this goal explicit.
