For non graphics program, you can start it from /etc/rc.local on system start, but the outputs must write into a file or must be redirected.

I don't use Debian now but on Ubuntu Gnome desktop there is a "Startup Applications" item in the Application menu.  Try to find similar!

If you wish to start your python script, don't place it directly in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart, but create a desktop file instead which look like the following :

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=en_US.UTF-8
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=MyPythonApp
Comment=MyPythonApp
Exec=/usr/bin/python /home/eric/eric.py
Modify message

[MBR]

If you dont'n need window manager, you can start the application from .xinitrc (but withou window manager, you must manage all the windows on you own). So it's only usefull for fullscreen applications.

This is my  /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and work fine

@lxpanel --profile LXDE
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@x11vnc -bg -forever -noxdamage -ncache_cr
@./run.py
