Can someone share instructions how can I get working imenu support with Fabian Gallina’s python.el?

This is the commit that introduced imenu support, but my understanding of elisp is very low:

Currently I opened python file (major mode is python) and pressed M+x imenu, but got:

No items suitable for an index found in this buffer

PS M-x python-imenu- does not display any functions. Can this be the problem?

I have resolved it like this:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
    (setq imenu-create-index-function 'python-imenu-create-index)))
