"apt install python-mode" is just verry old (2016) The one in github is from 2023. But both are created in 1992 by Tim Peters.

And they differ greatly:

  diff python-mode.el python-mode.old | wc
  45380  216095 1849879

It seems that one is on MELPA under the name “python-mode”. It’s a third-party project that replaces the built-in “python-mode”, also actively maintained (last updated last week).
