I don't think we should create the file silently. It seems like python-mode
should be a client of abbrev and not try to initialize things for it. A
warning is I suppose better than an error, but even better still would be to
just conditionalize it on whether abbrev is already set up and initialized.
(Or I guess we should ask whether python-mode has any business setting up
abbrev anyway? Why wouldn't that just be left up to the end user?)
