I think any function ending in '-mode' would be valid

If you open a file and it automatically loads the correct mode the mode
is listed on the modeline in ()
e.g. while composing this message it's (Message MML Fly OrgStruct) as
major mode and minor modes.

There's a variable 'auto-mode-alist' (C-h v auto-mode-alist) which lists
the mappings of filenames to modes.

I have entries like this in mine:

 ("\\.txt$" . outline-mode)
 ("\\.css\\'" . css-mode)
 ("\\.py\\'" . python-mode)
etc

so for *.py files which use python-mode

#+BEGIN_SRC python
def foo():
    print "in foo"
    10

if __name__ == '__main__':
    foo()
#+END_SRC

HTH,
Bernt

PS. Sorry I didn't answer that the first time around...
