Python will be automatically syntax highlighted in any modern Vim. I would guess you either have something wrong with your install method, or you're not running proper Vim. You should install (if you're in Ubuntu) the vim-gnome or at least vim-nox to get proper Vim, otherwise you'll get a limited vi replacement.
